I have an NEC ND-2500A writer in my PC and it is running firmware 1.70.
Any suggestions as to where to get an updated firmware? Or am I on the latest?
It's been a long time since I did anything with the drive.
Maybe I'm due for a new one?

You probably mean 1.07 firmware for that model. There ia a newer version (1.0A). Use this link:

You'll find it in the left column near the bottom. -
Using Neros Infotool, it says firmware 1.70?
Maybe I will just download that version and overwrite it?
Thanks, -
try x-flashing your drive to NEC 2510. I think this firmware is newer than the one you have, it will allow you to do DVD+R bit setting to DVD-ROM, and finally will allow you to burn dial layer media.
Follow these instructions: https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1367116&highlight=2510#1367116
Keep in mind that these NEC 2xxx drives series are older and I do not think NEC will provide a firmware upgrade to support 16X media. For 8x media, try uploading the firmware in the link.
But not everything is lost. There is a new hack firmware that was developped to support media faster than 8x.
You can read about it in here:

More MIDs will be speeded if there is a demand.
You will need Binflash to flash this firmware. Download Binflash here -
I was not expecting this, but NEC released a new firmware for NEC 2500/2510
This was really a big unexpected event, given that this burner is an older beast. Original firmware has been hack to support Bitsetting
Just use the newer fw 2.0a and for the 2500@2510a.
