From the Why don't you hack the LinkStation/KURO-BOX site
Difference between LS1, LS2, HG, HS
Firmware version
Maintainance \ SystemStatus should list even your firmware version.
http://<linkstation-Ip>/cgi-bin/sysinfo.cgi
is the direct link.
if the firmware version is 1.xx then you have a ppc-based-Linkstation (LS1, HG, HS), if it is 2.xx it is an LS2 (mips).
all LS except the HG have autosensing, so no switch for changing the LAN-Port is there.
Crossover switch -> LS1
No Crossoverswitch + Firmware Version 2.xx -> LS2
No Crossoverswitch + Firmware Version 1.xx -> HG or HS
TODO: Find a difference between HG & HS. I expect differences in the webinterface (pcast & upnp)

The powerpc-hdhlan LinkStation can also be identified by the presence of a crossover switch located at the rear of the unit; the mipsel-hdhlan and powerpc-hdhglan LinkStations do not have a crossover switch as they are auto-switching. |
