So doing this:

1) Currently: RAQ4 OS
2) Download stuff
3) Backup current (factory) ROM
4) Download ROM to a safe place
5) Upgrade ROM to a 2.4 kernel compatible one
6) Boot with 550-OS restore CD, install CD
7) Configure it
8) RAQ3 is now a "RAQ550" (software-wise) !! Play with it...

Now I get bored of 550:
9) Upload the OLD (factory) ROM
10) Restore the OLD ROM
11) Boot with RAQ3/4-OS restore CD
12) Configure and run as RAQ3 or RAQ4

So, this should all work right?
I could even do it WITHOUT steps 9 & 10. So I have a RAQ3 (or 4) with the
NEW ROM. Correct?
Or, WITH 9and10 I have my "old" RAQ3 back.

Now I can keep on doing this? 1-12, 1-12, 1-12... etc?
Once I converted FROM 550 ROM BACK TO RAQ3 ROM (so: RAQ3-RAQ550-RAQ3 again))
I can STILL install the 550 ROM? (so: over and over)...

So in essence: This is COMPLETELY safe, correct?

Would this also work for the RAQ XTR Software?

Thanks so much for your help :-)
