I happen to have a RaQ3i _and_ a 60 GB drive available for testing
locally.

So which RaQ4 OSCRD should I try?

I actually happen to have two 60 GB drives; I need to open the RaQ3 and
see if it has two ide controller channels onbord.  If it does, which
RaQ4r OSCRD should I try?

And if it doesn't have two ide controller channels onboard, can I add
one to the one available slot and still try it?  And if so, which RaQ4r
OSCRD should I try?

But I do... so which should I try?
