I've read that some people were able to update the firmware on this DVD+RW writer to Ricoh's 5125A's 1.38 firmware.

Currently I have 1.31 firmware and cannot make a single working VCD cd off CD-R or CD-RW. I guess from reading the reviews, CD-R's are out so I'm on CD-RWs from Imation. They don't work. I would like to update the firmware first.

Does anyone know how I can update my Sony DRU120A with 1.38 firmware from Ricoh? Their latest RFlash.exe doesn't do it for drives with labels other than Ricoh. Does anyone have an "older" RFlash.exe that does?
