35 HD DUAL NAS

I take it back. There is support. There is firmware. I stripped the NAS down to the main external casing and the main circuit board. What I found was the following:

STORLINK SL 3316

Jackpot. A bit of googling and 2 minutes later...

http://www.mrt-communication.com/Networking-dual.htm

Specifically:

http://www.mrt-communication.com/35HD-DUAL-NAS.htm

So now I know the name of the device.

Then more googling:

http://mrt.nas-central.org/index.php/Category:35HD-DUAL-NAS

So now I know the specs of the device.

Then, on the same site, I found the GPL:


and also a link to a new firmware release from the company.

Hello NAS, Nmap -O

I have been trying to figure out how I can interact with my new NAS.
It was a bargain at ~£30 from Aria's bargain basement.

Whilst it does what is says on the tin it also has some bad points:
1) It is unbranded w/ No obvious support or documentation.
2) The firmware looks like it was made in the 60's. (However I know this to not be true...)

I would love to move away from using the ancient webpanel and start interacting with it from the CLI. This the is output from nmap -O
