Supposedly Xpenology[0] lets you do that. I have not used it personally, as I have actual Synology hardware.

Yes, on x86 systems it mimics a DS3615. I've seen it installed on cheap dell desktops, like an optiplex 755.

Works well, with some limitations. I dont think their automatic port forwarding service (quickconnect) works well - since that service checks for a valid Synology MAC address.

Additionally - you can't do the automatic system updates as it might break certain portions that XPEnology overrides.

There is a serial number / MAC generator that makes quick connect work just fine.
