Optorite DD0201 owners

[darken]

If you have firmware version 2.17, can you send it to me? Thanx. d.inzine@centrum.cz I can't download it from optorite web page.

You can dowload it from Here

But I've got to ask WHY ?

[darken]

I know that adres but link on that page links to www.optorite.com and file with 2.17 firmware isn't there anymore.

I'm MSI DR4-A owner and I'm not satidfied with MSI 2.23 and 2.30 firmware, I need 2.17 firmware. I got my DR4-A with 2.17 and I think these wersion can be the same. Verison optorite 2.23 is the same asi MSI 2.23 but 2.30 isn't. Strange.

OK, thats it, what I did:

1. I instaled MSI 2.23D firmware.
2. I instaled optorite 2.30E firmware (for dd0201!!!)

Now I have no problems with reading CD, DVD or burning.

Glad you solved it.

Sorry the link was useless.

I'm using DD0201 fw2.30E on a DD0203 myself.

It flashed better (i.e. successfully) than the DD0203 version and the led display is much more pleasing.

Almost purchased this drive til I read the posts!!!

My standalone's only read -R!!

HD-BURN is a must have!!!

Firmware v.2.30!!!

Are these problems resolved?

Has anyone tried Memorex -R 4x?

If so, what is the write speed?

My stand-alones only read -R as well. All of the compatability problems appear to be resolved on -R with v 2.30 (touch wood) !

HDBURN is a good "idea". Have a look here to see some of the problems with it in practice.

Not tried memorex -R 4x, but having success with cheapo 4x media now.

So not complaining.

User AND Media friendly!!

I use firmware version 233 which I flashed using dos.
I have tested with all formats and use mainly dvd+r and HDBurn.

I noticed that Optorite has 250e firmware which is a windows exe file.

Has anyone tried it.
