Can a raid board be used like a "regular" board i.e. 2 hard drives hooked up
as master and slave? And, what is a "cnr" slot? TIA

Yes. Most have a "RAID" and "Base" mode. Base would be "regular"

What is CNR?
Cut and paste: CNR - CNR or Communication and Network Riser is a new type of
slot that supports audio, modem, USB and Local Area Network cards. This slot
is highly recommended for any user building a large amount of computers as
the cards are generally cheaper then the standard PCI or ISA cards.

Google is your friend.

You can switch between RAID mode and normal IDE mode in the BIOS.

A CNR slot is a Communications Network Riser slot. There have been very
few cards that have ever been made for it, and I'm not even sure they
exist anymore.
