OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

I have been reading these forums since Monday's announcement and there has been a resounding "ooof" regarding the fact the Ultras and Pros are unsupported for future OS improvements. To clear the air: it would appear Netgear will never support os6 on past hardware. I have almost come to grips with this, and at least they have been open and honest with their forward direction and aren't stringing us along. viewtopic.php?f=138&t=70131 The upside is our devices still work and are mostly stable and eventually we can upgrade to a new shell that has os6 support, but in the meantime our $500-1000 investment is unable to take advantage of modern features we all desire. I don't think I can add a poll here at RN forums, but I would like to garner support for a 100% unsupported home brew of the os6 on Pro6 units. If we get enough support perhaps a talented member(s) here would help release a homebrew of sorts. The 3 main caveats are: 1. Netgear will never be held responsible/your warranty is void 2. A format is required (new FS and OS) 3. Data loss is highly possible If you are still interested please post a reply to this thread.

Interested, but unfortunatly, i think it'll all have to come from the community...

1. Netgear will never be held responsible/your warranty is void
As it already is when tweaking via SSH or tweaking the hardware, we have to factory defaut the nas if we want some support.

2. A format is required (new FS and OS)
Of course, but it was already mandatory with 4.2.16 when the FS changed and 3TB HDD came around
