Firmware updates (optical drives).

Hi :)
Possibly a dying art these days.
But had reason to update a couple of my BD drives.
2 reader/writers, 1 rom (read only).
Many of the old sites are either not there, have broken links etc.
So try out this site.

Hi :)
If you are wondering if it is worth the hassle.
If you have no problems with reading/writing with your drive(s).
Then probaly not.
However in my case for example.
My BD Rom drive would not read some discs at all.
Even when it could, the loading time was long.
Even for Blu-ray... ;)
Flashing to latest firmware has rid of drive of not being able to read some BD discs.
Though haven't improved the speed any. Duh!
