Demo of OS6
Hi Jabba, Is there a demo or user guide for OS 6. I am looking at buying a 516 but am nervous as there is little info (other than a few you tube videos) on what features are built into the new OS....

And since v5.3.5 firmware (should work in v6.x also, as both are using Dashboard (versus old FrontView)), I had r2d2 add a DEMO mode flag, so when the system had that flag active, you couldn't save settings; so people could mess with the GUI but not do anything harmful (factory default, shutdown, etc).
Demo mode is added. (5.3.5-T33+)
If file ‘/.demo_mode’ is exist, all nml operation which affect to machine state will be returned as success.
Also, since then, people have found out how to run FrontView/Dashboard in a VM, so they could host a few VMs with non-persisent disks very cheaply.
Found a link to an old Frontview live demo: http://www.readynas.com/simulators/frontview/home.htm
