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.

Then download the add-on onto the NAS and extract the contents of the add-on .bin manually, look at the contents of install.sh and run flashrom manually. Do make sure to check the current bios version and make sure to attempt to flash the correct BIOS.
I haven't tried this recently but it did work for me some months ago so I presume it would still work.
So I understood everything you just said with the exception of "and extract the contents of the add-on .bin manually". A little command line syntax (or an example) would go a long way (allow me to remind you --> Andreas = LINUX IDIOT) :oops:
Thanks again!
