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.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread. Although I do not have time to devote to it at this stage (or the space to backup my existing Pro6 to) I may sometime in the near future. Although not a hardware guy I am a software developer (although sadly not in a Linux environment) but hopefully it should not be too difficult to pickup.
As a side note to anyone saying that there is NO money in it for Netgear to port this across to run on the older x86 systems....actually there is.....simply be getting this running and gettint the Netgear/Genie app store to run on older devices, they open up a revenue stream simply from the %age they take of any apps sold for the ReadyNAS devices through the app store. Although in all honesty I have not looked if there are any paid apps for the ReadyNAS device on the app store currently
