'Unleashed' says no.  Something about the AMI bios.  And the Laser has
some odd engineering.  If I do, will have to use the Red because the old
unit has no CDROM. And will lose the Connect feature.  How would I know
that it was a no go if I tried an install.  And if it worked, how would
I put the connect back in?  Would a Laplink type of file copy work if I
copied the Blue over the Red?

Would really like the old unit to be OS/2.  Always wanted it to be.

Look forward to your reply.
