rnxtras.com does have some of these here: https://rnxtras.com/readynas-os4-sparc  Though he does charge a small amount, he also provides support. 

 

The KB page points to the old ReadyNAS forum - which was decommisioned a long time ago.  @JohnCM_S@Marc_V : it should be taken down.  Many of the old posts in this area were transfered over from the old forum - some have links that no longer work (stuff like viewtopic.php?f=47&t=21791 )

 

You can use wayback to access the old forum here:  https://web.archive.org/web/20111121174352/http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=47

 

Some of the binaries can be downloaded that way, but of course some of the links might be dead.

General advice here - the Duo has very limited resources - a sparc processor designed back in 2005, stock memory of 256 mb, and a linux OS partition of only 2 GB.  The version of linux it runs is ancient, and it cannot be upgraded.  Loading it up with lot of add-ons isn't a good idea - you will end up filling the OS partition, which will give you a NAS that won't boot.  And even just one or two won't give very good performance by modern standards. 

 

A better strategy would be to spin up a modern linux system - perhaps on an old PC or in a VM - or alternatively in a raspberry pi.  You can mount the NAS volume as a network share on the linux PC, and run whatever linux applications you like.  You can also just do this on a windows PC or a mac, and run applications like plex on them.

There are some here: RAIDiator-Third-Party-Add-ons.  Just select ones that are for the SPARC architecture.
