onderstaand mailtje kreeg ik binnen:
heeft iemand dit al getest?
maar toch: :9:9:9
zou dit waar zijn (ik heb ook zo'n 8 speed...)?Convert Liteon LTR-0841 (8x) to 12101B (12x)!
Here is another quite interesting trick! How to convert your Lite-on LTR-0841 (8x) to LTR-1210B (12x). Note that we haven't tested it so we cannot be sure if it works. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
"...Yesterday I came across a bulletin board in Taiwan, in which a guy said that the two BURN-Proof-enabled CD-RW drives made by the Taiwanese company LITE-ON, LTR-0841 and LTR-12101B, are actually the same drive with differences only in the firmware. His arguments are:
1. The two drives look identical in appearance
2. For what other reason should LITE-ON add the BURN-Proof feature for LTR-0841, a low-cost 8x CD-RW, unless it is a repackaged LTR-12101B?
3. Both drives are still being produced in vast volumes. Using the same design for the two drives can save lots of money.
He also told us how to convert the LTR-0841 to LTR-12101B. In his message he has given us a file LS17.zip, which contains a BIN file LS17.BIN and a flashing utility PFLASH.EXE. The steps are really simple:
1. Reboot your PC into a clean DOS prompt.
2. Run PFLASH LS17.BIN /PM /NP /ALL (PM means primary master. If you LTR-0841 is located at another port, use parameters /PS, /SM and /SS for primary slave, secondary master and secondary slave respectively).
3. Shut down your PC.
4. Power up again and you'd get a LTR-12101B!
5. If anything goes wrong, just flash back the firmware for the LTR-0841 that he provided in the two zip files MS10.zip and MS8E.zip.
The trick works because the flashing utility works for any LITE-ON CD-RW drives without checking the model number. I do not personally own a LTR-0841 so I can't verify his words. Good luck to those who own a LTR-0841 and like to try a little overclocking! Please don't blame me if things go wrong.."
