64 bit MIPS-based CPU, all for a list price of $999. They followed
it up with the RaQ, an innovative repackaging that traded in the
Qube’s single PCI slot for a single rack unit chassis.”
“The RaQ2 adds the expansion capabilities that were missing from
the RaQ, boosts up the speed, and adds greater management
flexibility.”
“The RaQ2 platform is a Linux microserver built around a 250
MHz 64 bit MIPS-based CPU. Its two SIMM sockets give it
expandability to 256 MB of 72pin EDO RAM, its EIDE controller
allows for a large root disk, and its SCSI controller lets users
