I have a ReadyNAS NV+ with RAIDiator 4.1.7 [1.00a043] installed. Using the developer preview of OS X Lion, I get this message when trying to connect. "The version of the server you are trying to c...
NetGear can continue to claim compatibility with AFP and Time Machine. Lion has not been released yet and even after it's released next month, the ReadyNAS will remain compatible with with Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS X Snow Leopard which for quite some time the vast majority of Mac users will still be using.
Sensible users who want to keep compatibility with their software and hardware will wait for software updates for their software and firmware updates for things like NAS units before updating to a major new OS. Then there'll also be the need for minor updates to Lion itself to iron out some remaining bugs. It'll still be some months from now before a user genuinely relying on their Mac for business work would want to upgrade (unless they work in IT) to Lion.
AFP should already be working with x86 ReadyNAS (NVX, Ultra, Pro) and Lion, but not with the Sparc ReadyNAS. Time Machine will require an update to Netatalk 2.2 for all ReadyNAS.
When you compare the version of Netatalk on ReadyNAS units with the versions on other NAS units, you can see that most of the competition is running terribly old versions of Netatalk.
I'm sure NetGear is well aware of the need for updated Netatalk. In particular, the Jedi chirpa, has lots of Apple products: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46836
