    NEC 1300A (Again)

    Hi Guys,

    I have seen a lot of activity about the NEC 1300A being picky but would like to ask a question.

    I have an NEC 1300A drive and have some unbranded DVD-R's and some Bulkpaq DVD+R's. The unbranded seem to be made by Princo which I have read are ****e but I thought the Bulkpaq would be OK.

    I have managed to burn one Princo at 1x using DVD Architect but about 10 have failed. I cant get Nero to burn at 1x so am not sure if this is why.

    The first Bulkpaq I got out of the box worked perfectly but now the drive won't recognise them and DVD Identifier says there is no disk in the drive. I have flashed the firmware to V1.09 and still no joy.

    Any ideas or should I just buy some Ritek disks and be done with it. Are these guaranteed to work?

    Cheers

    Mr E

      My Bulkpaq (-R) disks are orange and showed up to be Princo. These utterly don't work on my 1300 (v1.09). I tried a pack of white top from Novatech http://www.novatech.co.uk/NOVATECH/s...NOV-DM25B#lblR and have so far (touch wood) not had a failure. I've not run one to identify the manufacturer yet but Novatech did stipulate they're proven with the 1300. Curious they seemed to have removed that though

                  I have gone through my disks 1 by 1 and found that 9 are readable so I have emailed EBuyer to see what they have to say.

                  Thanks for the Firmware link. I have used v1.09 from Herrie's but will give this a try as is "official"
