 no but you could rebuild it with a RaQ1-2 restore CD I think it is included
on the standard mips os restore cd take a look at ftp.nl.cobalt.com I
believe this can be done without upsetting or breaking any licensing as
Cobalt did sell boxes for a while that were classed as a RaQ and a half i.e.
RaQ1 hardware but RaQ2 software I think the difference was RaQ1 was 150Mhz
cpu and RaQ2 was 250mhz cpu

There is a whole lot in the archives about the licensing issues of
installing one os on a different raq but I don't think in this case it comes
into effect.
