I'm new here and just a bit confused - on the "Latest News" page (08/08/2010) the firmware for my Optiarc AD-7240S is shown as 1.04 but when I go to the Firmware Database page for the 7240 I see 1.02 and 1.03 ("Official"). I checked The Dangerous Brothers page and there are no Optiarc (aka Sony Optiarc) models listed. So, which version is the latest & greatest (and where is the appropriate d/l link)?

Thank you!

Since when is this a DVD-ROM drive?

This is a DVD burner!

A simple googling had given you that link:
http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/supportservi ... 7240s.html

Okay - YES, this is a burner. I humbly accept your admonishment.

Back to my question: which version f/w do I get to make it RPC 1? Do I just get 1.04 from the Sony page and will that make it RPC 1? So sorry for being such a newbie here.

Thanks. :)

Our forum has rules, simply follow them and no one ever will have the need to advice you.......

So, manufacturers NEVER ever release rpc1 firmwares.

Look here:
http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-7240S/

1.04 is not yet listed, but will probably be soon. Seems that it is a Liteon clone, so maybe try to use LtnRPC on it........

The 7240S is not a LiteOn clone so LtnRPC won't work. However patched 1.04 firmwares are currently in progress - together with a couple of other Optiarc firmwares.
