What Version Of DRU-500 ?

Hello Folks,

Finally broke down and purchased the Sony DRU-500 (couldn’t wait any longer for the Lite-On DVD±R/RW).

On the outside of the box is says DRU-500AX but Device Manager Properties states Sony DVD RW DRU-500A firmware 2.0c. Information from the sticker label on the drive - Manufacture Date 07 March 2003; Model No. DRU-500AX; Version BA.

I would have thought Device Manager would state DRU-500AX. What version of the Sony DRU-500 do I actually have?

Are there any advantages in upgrading the firmware from 2.0c to 2.0e ?

Regards,
Coaster
 
DRU500A and DRU500AX are the same drive. The only difference was the firmware. Now, with the 2.0e also the firmware is the same.:eek:
