Thanks in advance
In terms of iTunes streaming, the ReadyNAS like all other NAS boxes uses the ancient and discontinued firefly (aka. mt-daap) software. This does not work with the Apple TV 2.
It is possible to install Plex Media Server on a Mac, or Windows, or Linux, or a ReadyNAS, but only x86 based ReadyNAS boxes and not your old Sparc based model.
You could then jailbreak your Apple TV 2 and install a Plex client on it to link to a Plex Media Server.
