OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Very nice!
On the fan stuff you mention, it wouldn't take much to manually/cronjob update the fan speeds, until built-in support is there.
Looking at a 4.2 system:
You can do the same echo lines on a 6.0 box. So setup a cronjob to watch the temp values (also referenced in the enclosure.cfg), and if the temps get too high, turn up the fan speed. The PWM value would be 0-255 (min-max).
