Field notes

An install guide accompanies a downloadable .spk, and the page requires DSM 7.2.2-72806 or later. It identifies DS218 on DSM 7.4 as the tested setup; DS118, DS218play, DS220j, DS418, DS418j, DS420j, and RS819 appear only as same-architecture models, explicitly marked untested. The page also links its source repository and an MIT license.
