Yes you need the "Ultraslimbay HDD Adapter (2nd hard drive tray)
05K5338 about US$25.00. Then you can use a program like Ghost
to clone the source drive. However I used XCOPY to copy all
data and programs excepting the OSs. For this I reinstalled.
I have a complete log of the process on a 600E installing OS/2
and Win3.1+DOS alongside the preinstalled Win98. If you are
interested send me a private mail and I will copy to you.

If you have two machines you can use Laplink
