Experience with OS 6 on Legacy....
Does anyone have any thoughts, tips, caveats to running OS6 on legacy hardware? I see lots of complaints, problems, etc. I'd like to hear from anyone that's got it running and using it on a day ...
Hi Supertramp11,
You can download firmware v6.3.5 on this link for purposes of having a copy of it.
For me, you cannot use firmware v6.3.5 on your Pro 6 even if your Pro 6 has been updated to OS 6.x firmware. Its because firmware v6.3.5 was released exclusively for the ReadyNAS RN200 series only. Furthermore, the RN200 series are Arm-based NAS unlike the Pro 6 which is an Intel-based NAS.

Hi DaneA,
Thanks for yourt reponse.
Please be aware that the thread below, allowed me to install 6.3.5 to the PRO 6 and it works absolutely great:
Unfortunately I don't have the intel based firmware of this version for the purpose of having a copy of it.
Regards.
You don't need a copy of that. If you still have that R4toR6 image you used, you can use that to put 6.3.5 on other R4 systems you have if you want. Remember running OS6 on OS4 systems is unsupported.
6.3.5 is old firmware now. 6.4.1 is the latest.
