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 know of the link with the 4.2.26 image, but it says "you will likely need to do a USB Boot Recovery followed by a factory default to get a working system again."
That is just a warning for users with a new model e.g. 516. If you try to put e.g. 4.2.26 on a 516 it won't work. You can only downgrade legacy systems to 4.2.26.

And did will this OS4 revert package revert *any* OS6 package that's installed? Or just the 6.1.7 that's mentioned in the beginning of this thread?
It can be used to downgrade any legacy ReadyNAS that has been upgraded from OS4 to any OS6 firmware back to OS4.
Do note that like upgrading to OS6 requires a factory default, so does downgrading.
