Hi,

Has anyone tried to use or has anyone successfully loaded the Raq4 OS on anything other than a Raq. Can it be done??

No I think somehow the cobalt software interfaces with the with the cpu and motherboard itself. I was thinking about this also a while back but was told by several people here and other places it would not work.. If you find differently let us know.

The OS Restore utilizies the ROM chip (which includes the CMOS)on the motherboard of RAQ servers. Shouldnt be able to run it............
