ok so there have been two firmware updates on this drive , prob is i can,t impliment them .

at present wso3 ,,,,now have tried wso4 and ws05 with the following results.

after running the prog in a windows enviroment (as per prog) ,,,no dos ver available , after 20 mins ,,,,yes 20mins it runs the prog then checks file against bios (or dramm as it calls it) and says incorect ver/size.

am running 2k , with the latest drivers that "make" the drives as scsi (via busmaster ultra ata controller) ,,,,

now i know the basic t,shooting would be to set as master on sec , and go for it BUT

A: is the file(s) faulty (firmware) ,,,or

b: is it the os/drivers that are causing the probs???


have tried in s/mode etc ,,,,,

during the "flash" the ide light (red) frlashes but not the cd-r .


any thoughts chaps ?? ,,,or do i have to buy a new hard drive and a win 98 disk/licence in order to perform this operation ???? (jokin)
