Iomega/Plextor 12/10/32A users -- new firmware 1.08

here's the links -

cdrinfo link with instructions

file link to plextor Europe

----------------------------DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK--------------------
"...You can also use the new firmware with compatible recorders (Iomega, TDK 121032) if you:
1) Download and unzip the firmware file
2) Open PlexFirm.ini. In the 3rd line there should be:
Inquiry=PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A;

change it to: Inquiry=;

Then by running PXFirm.exe, you get a selection screen to select the drive, press update .. and you're done. I am using this firmware right now on my Iomega and it's 100% fully functional. I assume that it must also work for the Creative drive..."

Does anyone know if they have the firmware update for the iomega/sanyo drive?
I am having problem burning with EZCD 5.

Thanks

All you have to do is rename your drive to the plextor then run Plextor's firmware.

no no no - this is a much easier way, follow the directions on cdrinfo - it goes as follows -

Use winzip to open the W1210A108.exe file with Winzip. Extract the files to a temp directory of your choice. Four files will be extracted, one of them being the PlexFirm.ini file. After opening the PlexFirm.ini file using Notepad, edit the line " Inquiry=PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A; " and change it to change it to: " Inquiry=; " (leaving out the " marks )Then run the PXFirm.exe file and choose the Iomega1210 drive to update.

!!NOTE!! Do this at your own Risk, this will invalidate your warranty as well as Possibly Fry your Drive!!

I have done this to my own drive with perfect results but this may not be the case with your setup so be warned.
