Stop looking !
The reason you can't find any firmware is coz there's not been an update to the original firmware that comes with the drive.

Doesnt sony ever upgrade their firmware, or are they like Panasnoic where they never do it?
Iomega,and Creative can be added to that list.They suck.![]()
I had a creative 8x32 which i flashed with a plextor firmware and it worked. Mind you from then on it was detected as a Plextor. Lucky mewith my two sony 140 and 145 , I could never find an upgrade

That's good news roadworker, only if I still had my 140. It died two years ago![]()
Houman,you were one of the lucky ones,getting a Plextor rebadge.Creative switched to Samsungs and Panasonics.People thought they were getting a Plex!
Afterall Creative did put 8432 on the box!
I think they left the picture of the Plex on all the boxes too!![]()
roadworker - No problem, my cheap Lite-on has done over 700 burns and still no coaster. And honestly, I don't miss the Sony
Woodsy: Yeah I was one of the lucky ones. Went to buy another and got stuck with a Panansonic![]()
Not so bad Houman...at least you got a picture of the Plex on the box to look at!![]()
Hey, you could've taken the picture off the box and glued it on the Panasonic!!![]()
There was a bios upgrade for the Sony 140 (issued by HP) but only the IDE version, not the SCSI version that I had. Then again, it never needed a new BIOS anyway as it did everything the box said it would do and burn "quite a few" CD's. I gave it to my son when I got the LiteOn 24x. Its still going strong !
