Been there, done that. Corel did some things that you might think twice
about blindly upgrading, but yes. In particular, you want to watch to
ensure that you don't lose libc compatibility. Corel's based on Slink,
which has a different libc than potato. The two can exist side-by-side,
but you may have to install an extra libc to be sure to keep the Slink
programs happy.

If a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape
