Courtesy of Slashdot, here's a link to a story (in german, so hop over to Babelfish) about hackers upgrading their NEC DVD burners to Dual-Layer capability with hacked firmware.
Story This is for NEC 2100A and 2500A burners, and 'turns them into' the 2510A. Sounds dubious, and you better wrap that rascal, but if you're feeling brave here's a link to the hacked firmware: Firmware Better yet, here's a link to the Slashdot story, so you can read about *other* people blowing up their drives before you try it yourselves. Slashdot Article I wouldn't hold my breath for this to work, but someone's gonna be more brave than I am. :) |

the nec drive are only $80 not too shabby if its true that they can be made into a dual layer burner.
I just ordered a nec2500A from avlogic. I will let you know if the firmware upgrade works ---and now for something completely off topic I tried to go to egghead to buy the dvd drive to discover that egghead.com is now run by amazon. This reallly really really blows, what was the best comp hardware store on the net is now a peice of *^%*. I ran a search for nec and it watedn to sell me a cellphone. WTF? Jobefx |
