Ah, makes sense now. Sorry for your loss. Amazing how projects sometimes just completely change direction.

What the history of them? Why were they never used?

Thank you for the updates! Very well done! And now that you're on a different OS, the esata ports should also work if you wanted to expand the storage with an esata dock or tower. :) And the ss4200-e lives on. :)

That casing looks mighty similar to the gocoax case...

I'm with you--hence why I created this thread in the first place to give these great units a second lease on life if someone has one. You've got more experience than I do with linux so you can probably make it work how you want it to. One thing you could try is to use an older lga775 based...

Xenforo didn't even exist when dslrports started. In fact, it was probably just phpbb and vbulletin as platform choices.

The problem you're running into is something that happens a lot with the march of technology--older versions that work on older hardware can't be found anymore. :( I don't have any experience with running anything other than the built-in os, but others have run omv and I think they posted links...

Yep, that's my thinking as well.

Just found out about this myself from a post on reddit of all things. And at first I was like no way. Until dslreports.com wouldn't load. :( I did a quick whois and the domain is still registered for two more years. So this doesn't sounds like a planned shutdown to me.

I would try keeping the dom installed and see if that makes a difference. The ide/sata controller in the ss4200-e is really custom in how it handles the interfaces and may not like the dom missing.

Love to help you in your quest! There's several people here that have gotten something like openmediavault and freenas to boot, and from my memory it comes down to this--there's an option somewhere in the bios for 'legacy' or 'enhanced' or 'ahci' or some sort of option for the ide and/or sata...

Nah, that's just a wiring issue which has always been the pre-requisite to moca working well. Even homeplug has its issues with wiring and then the bandwidth is still a fraction of moca.

Thank you for the additional details!

Do these come with moca filters in the box? (those two silver things)

You're welcome! I think it will depend on what kernal xigmanas is built on and if it has the realtek driver built-in (most do as they consolidated their 1Gb and 2.5Gb drivers). If it does, it should 'just work'.
