I got this drive last week .
I decided to crossflash to the dirve to a 112L with the Buffalo 8.06 firmware using The Dangerous Brothers crossflash Util.
Below are the results...
8 Speed Burn
x8 Burn - Verbatim DVD+R x16 (Yuden T03 )
x8 Benchmark - Verbatim DVD+R x16 (Yuden T03 )
18 Speed Burn
x18 Burn - Verbatim DVD+R x16 (Yuden T03 )
x18 Benchmark - Verbatim DVD+R x16 (Yuden T03 )
As you can see .. the drive is working remarkably well.
I would recommend crossflashing to the 112L to anyone .
This allows auto bittseting of +R Media (both Single Layer & Dual Layer by default) & DVD-RAM read & write support.
The Only Downside it invalidates your warrantee but who cares .. if it breaks just buy another one
P.S. Thanks to Zebadee for helping me out with the Flash
