The only significant change in going from INOVA to VNMRS (really from Sun to Linux) is that Linux requires psg_abort instead of abort. Just replace all abort statements with psg_abort and the sequences should compile. BioPack sequences work on Unity plus, INOVA and VNMRS (as well as the new DD2).

Performance should be identical, but since you are comparing different consoles it is likely that the difference lies in calibrations.

To follow up a bit on George's answer, I've had problems in the past with calibrations. In my experience, the single most important parameters to calibrate for BioPack or any other sequence that calculates pulses "on the fly", aside from having good "hard" 90 degree pulses, are the amplifier compression factors on 1H (comp/compH) and 13C (compC). If these aren't good, your shaped pulses and decoupling will be off. Also, make sure you optimize you gradient pairs if the experiments are gradient selected. A seemingly small mismatch can cause severe attenuation. I just array gzlvl2 in a range a couple hundred units to either side of gzlvl1 and pick the strongest signal. Both of these are hardware rather than software dependent.

Also, as George said, if these are your own or third party sequences, changing abort to psg_abort should let the sequence compile. There are a few other commands you should update, but I've never had a sequence not run with the old syntax. In particular, any statements involving TODEV, DODEV, etc. should be updated, e.g. rlpower(tpwr, TODEV) should be changed to obspower(tpwr).
