I recently bought a replacement UJ-846C for a friends 2006 20" imac and when I check the drive with system profiler it reports it as a uj-846s dvd-ram. The outside label states the drive as being a uj-846c but it looks like the firmware is diifferent. What i want to know is it safe to flash it with uj-846c rpc1 firmware or even with apple superdrive 2.1 or 3.0?

how are we supposed to know what discinfo says if you dont post it. also it might be helpful to attach a picture of the actual drive so we can make sure on that info also.

Seems that this firmware is not suitable for a mac.....

Is this a new drive or a cheap used drive ? I have some doubts that the firmware causes the MacOS writing problems. Try it in an Windows environment. If it still fails, the drive simply is defective.
