Thanx m8
That list is not gospel. But a good start guide for unknown brands.
I like advice from people I know.
Then I know who to blame if its baloney!

Princo --> 1x --> firmware 1.00 --> Movies and Xbox Backups
Princo --> 2x certified --> Firmware 1.00 --> Movies

Vivastar --> 1x firmware 1.00 --> Movies and Xbox Backups

Hi everyone, i discovered this site last night: http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acata..._Discs_16.html - they sell various dvd-r's and have notes for each item with the hardware models (including the A05/105) they suggest you use with that particular media so it's a good idea just to get a list of brands, even if you choose not to buy from them.

[daveml]

Dont trust that list Pat.
Some of their recommended 105 discs do not work with FW1.00
Altho they may work with FW1.21 (just ask Bertieg.lol)

[vcd_pat]

Oops, my apologies Dave.. had no idea mate. In that case, the website should do more thorough tests before they make recommendations. Any idea what date in January the new A05/105 firmware is going to be released?

It´s out already but Daveml isn´t the bravest man in the univers.

1.00 works for me so far!
If I need 1.21 I will flash, but until then..............................
