ASPI Driver needed for DVD+RW Drive

[Almighty1]

I have the HP DVD200e using the 1.27 hacked firmware via the firewire interface. While every software can see the drive, anything using ASPI doesn't. I am using ForceASPI 1.7 which is Adaptec ASPI 4.60 (1021). Does anyone know of any ASPI drivers that will allow programs that require the ASPI layer to see the drive? I'm not sure if the issue is because the drive is not connected via IDE or SCSI like ASPI devices are or is it because DVD+RW drives aren't supported by ASPI layers yet. I've tried the ASPI layers from LSI Logic/Symbios and Nero with the same results. This is under WindowsXP Professional Edition.

Just an update...

I found a solution that is working for Feurio! 1.65, CDRWin 3.9a, and Exact Audio Copy 0.9 Beta 4 getting the drive to show up and working but CDRIdentifier v1.63 still doesn't see the drive so maybe it's a limitation of CDRId. What I did was put WNASPI32.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 from Nero ASPI from w*w.cdspeed2000.com since it seems like Adaptec ASPI 4.60 and 4.71 isn't able to support Firewire/USB devices but SCSI/IDE only. Not sure if Win9x/ME uses this file or not.

Try adaptec. I got mine there and it works.

I'm using adaptec aspi v4.71 without any problem, but w/ my 200i (IDE interface) ... and i think that you don't need aspi layer to your 200e-


By the way, how did you updated the firmware to 1.27 hacked? Did you replace the *.bin file and use HP util? or did you use RFlash601.ex by Ricoh? Can i do it under WinXP or only under DOS real time? Finally, I'll need to lock region (with 4 changes) of my HP200 before update?

Sorry for my too bad english... but if you can help me ... thanks a lot
