Hi all,
I've read some posts about people trying to use the RaQ550 OSRCD on RaQ4
hardware. Apparently some have been able to make this work after upgrading
the BIOS.
However, I wonder if the reverse scenario might be possible: restoring the
RaQ4R OSRCD to RaQ550 hardware? Having worked with both (and RaQ3s), I find
the R4 OS to be a lot leaner and meaner than the R550, while the R550
hardware is obviously much faster. I think the reliable R4 OS running on
the fast R550 hardware would be a very decent virtual hosting machine.
Anyone have a spare R550 test machine to try this out?
