  1. First of all, is it possible to flash a U14A (OEM) to a DRU510A (retail)?
    [ I realize there was a very similar question about the U10A and someone
    hacked the firmware to allow it to become, I believe, a DRU500A. ]

    Is there any disadvantage to keeping the U14A or should it be sent back
    and replaced with the retail model? Obviously, Sony warranty (and flash)
    support would be very helpful.

  2. I was on the firmware page and found a link to a Japanese web site:

    http://www.ued.janis.or.jp/~jabawock/down.html

    On there I found this in addition to other OEM conversions:

    http://isweb44.infoseek.co.jp/computer/type-ive/files/14A to 510A [1.0c].zip

    Anyone tried it?

    If something goes wrong, how do you return to the old version?

  3. As I was advised by the vendor, I flashed my DW-U14A into a DRU510A.

    I just successfully completed a DVD burn on TDK 2x DVD-R media. I have not had a chance try DVD+R, but so far it seems to be working well.
