That would be nice, Thom, but I don't know if it can happen...
1. There's no guarantee the bios can be upgraded; several have tried and
failed, and I sure wouldn't want to warranty nothing would go wrong.
2. Installing the RaQ550 software on it would be something best done by
individuals in the privacy of their own dimly lit cave; we can't just
rely on past behavior to presume Sun wouldn't go after someone offering
the 4 -> 550 upgrade.
3. Even the conversion-to-Plesk route is a dead-end; the Plesk PSA
version that runs on Cobalt RaQs is only version 2.0; Plesk is two
versions further ahead now.
I'd say the only thing to do is keep using it for what it's made for, or
convert it to a gp linux-system (at which point it may run Plesk 5.0).
