I remember seeing some posts on various tech forums a few months ago in which people allegedely downloaded and installed the drivers for one of Sony's DVD+R Dual-layer drives and installed them for their "same generation" Single-layer Sony DVD burner. Supposedly there is little to no difference in the hardware so it comes down to it being software-enabled functionality. Is there any validity to this? And if so how can I make my Plextor PX-708A burn Dual-Layer media?

The only link I've found so far linked to an updated driver for the Plextor PX-708A / PX-708UF DVD±R/RW Firmware v 1.08.

Is it as simple as installing this updated firmware?
