He tried it on both his nec 3520's, one had the 3.05 and the other had the 2u2

Firmware (modified) ver 2U2 should deal with this - if the media code is the same as this on your discs:

54 54 47 30 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 52 01 00 -> [TTG02 ] 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0

On what speed did you burn those discs?

[Chewy]

It was 4x, but just (one) blank and it didn't even start the burn?
