O.K, lets wait for the moment. It could be that there is more in
common between different 370 devices, and between different XP
devices, but less in common across 370 and XP.
We can refactor it later when a pattern starts to appear.

Is this well know in the forums? Do you think Synology knows about it?
It would be nice if it was fixed. Maybe not for these products, but
for the next generation.
