    There are rumours floating round that one of the current drives (Benq?) will be firmware upgradeable to handl DVD-9, but I wouldn;t count on it. As for the rest of the current crop, its very unlikley.

    The 1st DVDr-9 drives are expected end Q1 '04 or early Q2, but again, don't count on it. And expect them, and the mdeia, to be expensive to start with.

    A reliable source inside BenQ Europe told me that a rumoured firmware upgrade to add Dual Layer Burning Capability to BenQ DW800A will be released in Jan 2004 . I heard Philips was working on this but their product would not be introduced before April/May 2004.
