Updating Firmware

[Nameless]

Is that part circled 1dvd DD the part you look up to update your firmware on an Io Magic. I can't do it auto since the computer isn't connected to the internet.

Yes.......Here is a thread at cdfreaks about that drive: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=117952

and here is the firmware page: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1913

As it's not connected to the net you won't be able to use the LiveUpdate program from www.drvupdate.com

Download the firmware from BTC: http://www.btc.com.tw/english/3-1-2driver_download.htm, it's really small and will quite easily fit on a floppy (remember those!?) or stick it on a USB stick.


Edit - That's what I get for going to make myself a cup of tea mid-post... jmet beat me to it..

Edit 2 - I'm not as quick as I used to be. I'm loosing my speed in my old age. Just look at my avatar, I look like a Chinese Santa Claus with a goatee.

Is it CD's you've previously burned or originals. Could you be using inferior media?

Moved to General Computing. Bet Chewy nails it in a second.
