RDC 2882 LANDISK
March 4, 2008
Regarding RDC2882 V49 firmware for LANDISK devices
RDC is writing that it’s a beta test version and they did not ‘publish’ it to the public
The reason for the release is a problem in the SAMBA function in MAC OS 10.5.1 however it seems that in MAC forums people write that there is more or less a bug in 10.5.1
compatibility problem…..so, MAC OS released 10.5.2 version to solve this
It seems that the NAS-BASIC48 firmware is just working fine with the 10.5.2 and that is one of the main reason they did not release NAS-BASIC49

Well… I have 10.5.2 and Samba doesn’t work with nasbasic48 :-/ Don’t think I’ll try 49 though because I doubt that 49 will be freeze free unlike buggy old 48 so I’ll just have to use it through USB :-S

I also have 10.5.2 and Samba works for me.
Is there a way to hack the firmware so that I can use another format for the disk?
I think fat32 is not the optimum for nas drives.

Hi Dennis,
I wonder if we are going to see any more releases for the RDC2882 chipset based NAS boxed? I believe the latest release is the loader69 one, but that still leaves quite a bit to be desired. For example, there is a bug in setting time (an error is shown, but time usually seems to be set correctly). I’d also welcome some kind of password protection for Samba shares.
Do you know anything about this?

I believe the RDC2882 is EOL
