Greetings, community! First post here, and I'm very glad to see that Buffalo has embraced the use of lithium forums to host an alternative customer support. I've seen it flourish at many other sites (Creative, Real, etc), and hopefully it will here as well.
Now for my problem. I've been browsing/searching the forums all morning, and have learned that a certain feature for my Linkstation Pro that I've been wanting has been included in a firmware update. Here's the thing, though... it's in a recent European firmware update, and I am in the US.
I saw Paul post in a thread that "Each region has its own set of firmware. You can not compare the 1.27 German firmware to the latest with in the US." What exactly does this mean? Are there seperate development teams in each region? Will a region's firmware only work on products sold in that region?
So here's my question: Is it safe to install this European region firmware on my US Linkstation Pro LS-320GL? Will I run into any problems?
It seems strange to me that the firmware for the LS Pro has been updated more frequently in the European region and has several fixes/improvements over the US firmware. Here, any updated firmware is non-existent since September 2007 (over a year!)
Thanks for reading
