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.

Or they could have done exactly as they have, but with a bit better PR/outreach and expectation management.
Instead of saying it will not be released "Ever" NTGR could have explained their reasoning, as everyone has debatated in prior posts/threads. Then offer a path to OS6 much like the community has formed through help from our "talented developers".
With NTGR's blessing and outreach for those who are willing to format/wipe their device. ReadyNAS Facebook and support forums would not be tarnished with negativity, and enthusiasts who comment about leaving the brand.
Much as they have over the last year, NTGR has decided their fans and supporters don't need to be informed of these "proprietary" business decisions, since after all, we are just people who bought a device 1-3 years ago, and we aren't a current revenue stream.
All that having been said, I absolutely LOVE OS6, and commend NTGR on their "leap forward" I just wish we had been included in that leap without all the huffing and puffing.
