I just did this yesterday. If you have a 6500, they use the same style of
flash format. Download the image to the switch and stick the card in the
7200.
FYI . If you get a 6500 and use the new line cards that support IP phones
or are upgradeable to using IP phones, The "4. something" image that comes
with the switch won't light off the line cards. I used the flash card on a
7206 and downloaded a newer image to it. Then booted the 6509 with the
7206 flash card. Thank God they were compadable or I would of been hosed.
