ULTRA2BIOS=/opt/biosflash/RN_Ultra2_110211.ROM ULTRA4BIOS=/opt/biosflash/RN_Ultra4_082311.ROM ULTRA6BIOS=/opt/biosflash/RN_Ultra6_061010.ROM NV6BIOS=/opt/biosflash/RN_NV6_072610.ROM -- # // pre-flight checks if [ ! -d /opt/biosflash ]; then echo " * missing BIOS images"; exit fi if [ ! -x /opt/biosflash/flashrom ]; then -- if [ $DMI_BOARD = "ReadyNAS-NVX-V2" ]; then echo " * found Ultra 4 board, date: $DMI_DATE" /opt/biosflash/flashrom -c SST25VF016B -w $ULTRA4BIOS > /tmp/bios.flash -- elif [ $DMI_BOARD = "FLAME6-2" ]; then echo " * found Ultra 6 board, date $DMI_DATE" /opt/biosflash/flashrom -c W25Q80 -w $ULTRA6BIOS > /tmp/bios.flash -- elif [ $DMI_BOARD = "FLAME6-MB" ]; then echo " * found NV6 board, date $DMI_DATE" /opt/biosflash/flashrom -c W25x80 -w $NV6BIOS > /tmp/bios.flash -- echo " * found Ultra 2 board, date $DMI_DATE" # -c SST25VF016B | -c MX25L1605 /opt/biosflash/flashrom -w $ULTRA2BIOS > /tmp/bios.flash
so
NV6BIOS=/opt/biosflash/RN_NV6_072610.ROM
is the correct firmware.
i can confirm the the upgrade and cpu work.

The Ultra 6 looks a good bet.
AFAIK the Ultra series bios are good for all Legacy X86 systems
Just as an aside isn't your Model Number RNDP6350-200 and not RNDP6000-200?

If you are running OS 4.2, then I think the one you want is here: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... .5-x86.bin
