Nope. "2000 System" was. At least by HP.

I'd love to know. I am not aware of any surviving OS distributions for it,
nor any operator/user manuals. Some general manuals do mention it however.

>Is there anywhere on the web a document explaining it?
There are several manuals and such on the web, and several manuals in my
posession... that mention it's existence, as well as giving the HP product
number for the OS distribution, which is different from 2000/Access product
number.

In addition, (now I'm delving into totally unsubstantiated rumor)...I had
heard from a source that when HP discontinued TSB, it was taken over by a
third party that enhanced it and called it "2000G". I'm starting to discount
that though as I've never found ANY corroboration for his story. But, with
regard to 2000/Access & 2000 System.... the manual is pretty corroborative
:)
