Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Here is what I was experiencing. Boot with 1 805 drive as master (furtherest away from MB). System would boot and show ver 805. Install 803 drive in slave (closest to MB). Reboot and it shows formatting the new drive. After format completes system shows ver 803. I think that I either have the master/slave confused or this resulted from not getting rid of the MBR on the 803 drive (not really sure how to do that). Thanks for all your guidance so far.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

is someone actually providing 3.4.805?
I have a 2000 version 2 currently running 3.4.803, bios 2.0.282,a dn one of the drives failed so now is the time to upgrade to bigger drives, but apparently need the tad bit newer os.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

reed, With one drive (805) run co de info from debug and see which drive it is reporting missing. 10000 is considered the master boot drive.

You can over write the 803 using dd to copy the 805 boot tracks over the 803 drive.

RainbowPreacher NO, it's copywrited material and is not allowed on this site.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

I see.
thanks.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Adaptec would be more than happy to sell you 4.0.860 for about $200. It also includes a 1 year maintenance agreement.

I have a 4100, so I can't use drives larger than 137gb, which is fine for me. I don't think the 2000's have that limitation, but someone else on here can answer that better than I can.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

anyone can tell me or send me the files 4.0.860 or 2200.img I have 2 snap servers down and I need these to get them back up.
thanks,

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Those files are completely different, and probably not get your servers back online anyway

Also read the FAQ - We dont distribute the software

In case you need some extra info about my system.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Hi - I have a Snap Server 2000 with these parameters:
Bios 2.0.252
Hardware 2.0.0
Software 3.1.618 (US)
Serial 44xxx

I've been trying to upgrade to version 3.4.805 or higher but the Adaptec site keeps getting you in useless cycles without letting me download the upgrade.
Any chance one of you folks might help if you have a 3.4.805 or higher OS upgrade image?

Much appreciated

Apologies for my message. I certainly don't want to create troubles for the owners of the Forums

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Sam, I have thought about but someone would just start another one.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

You are correct Dave. It's best just to leave it and if anybody request software etc..link. and such .... just don't reply to it. Anyway just my two cents on it for whatever it is worth.

I guess I'll retract this message to be on the safe side. Thanks!

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Hello:

If you did find it and you are posting it here on how to get this or find it you are breaking the RULES HERE! And if you are smart and found a place for it at there(Adaptec) site that is generally not open to the public, then you are surely going to have it(back door) shut down by showing it to the world. Think before you post. Retract your post. Thanks

Just my two cents,
bitor

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

I do not see where he is breaking any rules, he is simply stating how he found it and isn't posting any links so I see no need for him to retract any posts.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

He is not breaking the rules technically. But If adaptec comes here and sees how you can search and find it. Then they might say something about his post. And SHUTDOWN the back DOOR and maybe get this forum in trouble. That was my point.

Just my two cents,
bitor

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

ADMIN,

I have read that legal letter here on the forum again. In my opinion, it is on shakey ground posting how to locate it. It is still copyright, no matter how easy or difficult it is to find etc. Posting how to get it, without going through proper channels, is still putting the forum in a dangerous position. I would reccomend deleting the post, and any references to that post (including this one), just to be on the high ground and be safe. It is just not worth the risk(s). My 2 cents worth.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

You know I was just trying to download it from their website at first but I kept going in circles. They said to contact their feedback forum to request it to be downloaded. So, I did that but got impatient. Right on their instruction page they list all the information needed to find it. Just today I an email from Adaptec saying that if I pay $200 I can receive it. What a bunch of greedy b*st*rds. I can't believe they change that much for some glorifed firmware only good on their hardware. I guess they just want to prevent people from hacking old, now affordable, products.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

I have removed any quotes to the post, since the statement has been retracted. I will leave the discussion for other to learn from. After all he did discover that the file was blocked from being downloaded, required $$$.

I keep hoping that Adaptec will release the SnapOS since they have stopped selling the units. I guess they have to wait 3 yrs so all of he warranties expire. + what ever contract support they have, but they get it free.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Hi guys and gals! I purchased an empty M4100 in March from Ebay and have filled it with 4 identical drives but have been unable to locate a CD for this thing. There's currently no OS on my system, and I need whatever starter kit it came with so that I can set it up from scratch. From what I've been reading and the pitiful free support I've been able to get from Adaptec, I'll need the latest OS to run my 230gb maxtors. Can anybody throw me a bone? I can be reached at jsepeta@hotmail.com

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Ok here is a bone.
First of all start by reading the FAQ (thats the sticky at the top of the forum)
There you will see several important things like
1) the 4100 has the os stored in flash and you should be able to start it up without drives.
2) It will not see drive space >137gb. You can use your bigger drives, but your only going to get 137gb
3) Follow the reset procedures to reset the unit to factory defaults, then log in through the web interface and see what version os you have. You only need the latest version if you are having problems with xp service pack 2. You only need 3.4.805 or later to use large hard drives (Which the 4100 will not do because of hardware/driver issue)
4) Please refer to the sticky at the top of the forum titled Snap posters please read.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

I have a 2200 and want to expand the drives beyond the 2x80GB, I need to update the firmware to something that'll support bigger HD than 137gb. Would very much appreciate it if someone could help me aquire updated firmware 3.4.805 or 4.x so I can upgrade the HDD of my snap.
Support from Snap-Adaptec doesn't work with my snap 2200.
Could someone help me acquire the .sup file(s) and the Assist program needed to update the software?

Thanks very much.

Re: Snap OS 3.4.805, anyone?
 

Contact Adaptec (tech support) for the SnapOS, In most case they have been giving out v3.4.807 on request. We had a user talk to sales and they gave him a link to the latest v4 for free. He though it was rediculas that they wanted you to buy a service contract for a dead os. That has limited to not support.
