Upgrade files to go from 4.2.31 toOS6 on a Ultra?
I am looking for the files to upgrade an Ultra 6 to OS6. None of the links in previous threads work. TIA

Marc_V That worked, thanks.
I am aware of the non support. Buying a RN428 and want to see how the new OS works.

Maybe you also wish to check if the bios is up to date (which needs to be updated separatly and didn´t comes with the firmware upgrade!). I performed that after the OS6 upgrade (from 4.x) which solved some issues for me. So you might try to wish to do the same. The URL I used for the ReadyNAS Bios Upgrade process is: https://www.admin-enclave.com/en/articles/linux/484-upgrade-the-bios-from-an-readynas-device.html

It's simpler just to download http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin and install it as an add-on. This should be done before you convert the NAS to OS-6.
