The RTX2010 was the rad-hard version, but pretty similar otherwise. 
IIRC it had a multiplier and barrel shifter whereas the RTX2000 had just 
the multiplier.  I think both had 256 deep stacks.

The RTX2001 was a cheaper version and had neither barrel shifter nor 
multiplier, and smaller 64 deep stacks.  I used that one a lot.
