You would need to reload the OS if you go to any of these other machines.
Especially since the Sun Blade 150/1500 use IDE drives and the Sun Blade
1000/2000 use Fibre Channel.
Even in an Ultra 80 that actually uses SCSI drives I can't imagine a hard
drive from an Ultra 2 working without having to reload.
