It very much is a Netgear-specific board, and they have never been available separately. Your only solution if you need to retain your existing volume is another (used) ReadyNAS. If you converted the Ultra6 to OS6, that includes other 6-bay legacy units that have been converted (or you can convert) as well as native OS6 units. But if you are still running OS 4.2.x, then you'll need another Ultra6, an Ultra6 Plus, a Pro6, a Pro BE, or a Pro Pioneer (assuming you've got all 6 bays full).
There are other options to just recover the data, but they all entail having to connect at least 5 of the 6 drives (assuming RAID5) to a Windows or Linux computer. And that the data is recoverable depends on whether or not the volume was damaged when the hardware failed.

You can use an OS6 x86_64 ReadyNAS. It’ll boot 4.2.x with the volume mounted read-only so you can copy the data off, then factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) and copy the data back on. You would need somewhere to copy the data to to go with this option.
