DVR-105/A05 1.30 Mac updater (OS 9)

[Teammate]

I don't know if this is old news or not, but Xlr8yourmac.com has a link to the AMUG site which as a Mac firmware updater for the DVR-105. http://www.amug.org/amug-web/DVR105_FW130M.sit

I currently have firmware 1.00 on my drive, but I was wondering if I should upgrade given that I'm not having problems now, what improvements should I expect to get from this upgrade?

Personally, if its not broken dont fix it. I cant speak for the 105 drive but the A05 firmware update worked for some and not for others.

v1.30 update:
DVD-R/RW Writability Improvement
DVD-R/RW Playability Improvement
CD-R/RW Writability Improvement
CD-R/RW Playability Improvement
Supports 2X writing on New Prodisc DVD-R Media

CAUTION
But as many of us already know, you should be really, really careful when upgrading Pioneer's firmware. Pioneer has a legacy of issuing firmware upgrades that wont allow downgrading back to the previous version and that have introduced various limitations on media usage (Pioneer tends to block "unauthorized" blank media manufacturers' discs from burning on its drives). So, beware. Currently the best known firmware for Pioneer A05/105 is v1.20 -- the v1.21 introduced tons of limitations for media use; many x2 discs wont burn at 2x on v1.21, but only at 1x, etc.

you can also look here where many people discuss such an issue:
