Very hard to do, near impossible.

My understanding the "E" is for Enterprise. What that means is the two
biggest differences, 1 being the 24 bit color of using the Creator boards in
the UPA slot. Another is 10/100 Ethernet as opposed to 10 Mbps, and the next
big one is Fast/Wide SCSI as opposed to Fast/Narrow SCSI.

Hope that helps,
