A while ago I came upon a web page that talked about the possibility  
of having two IDE channels on a RAQ2.  Since I was running RAID 1  
already I figured I might be able to gain some performance, or at  
least a little safety (if the drive electronics on one drive screwed  
up 1 channel, the other might survive).  After some investigation, I  
hunted down the components I needed and did some ugly hand-soldering  
of surface mount components and now I'm booting my RaQ2+ with two IDE  
channels.

Boot output attached:
