      The Codeguys have managed to hack an 851S into an 832S - apparently the only difference between an 812S and an 832S is the firmware (crossflash fixed firmware required for the hack) - generically, these tend to be called the "2S" drives.

      The "51S" drives (451S and 851S) only differ froim the "2S" in a signal processor chip, so are incapable of 8x on -R ... hacking these to an 832 requires modified firmare (8x -R support disabled and crossflash fixed).

      If you're happy with the 851S as it is, I wouldn't mess with it, but if you want to do a double burn, some programs insist on identical drives (but note the lack of 8x -R)

      Sony DRX700UL external with latest firmware VY06E so now it comes up as a 700A (the internal version)

      Pretty cool, burns everything thrown at it and not one coaster, highly reccomended

      I just bought NEC 3500AG and so far I'm impressed. Didn't burn any D/L yet and at $5 for one is that may be a while.

      Just bought one myself too, for as little as 73 euros, and so far it's working brilliantly. Also burned two DL which seem to play fine in all standalones I've tried.

      The initial one that came with it (2.16). I might try 2.18 soon, but I had heard some complaints about the hacked RPC-1 (Dangerous Brothers) treating some media brands badly- I can't confirm though, as I have the burner for less than one week and haven't tried any other firmware version yet.
