Superdrive Firmware testing

I’ve been sent numerous test results of people trying the new firmware (as reported earlier) on their UJ-835 or similar model drives. Here is a quick summary of media vs detected speeds.

  • Verbatim 16X DVD+R = 2x detected
  • Ritek 8x DVD-R = 8x detected (previously 2x)
  • Imation 8x DVD-R = 8x detected (previously 2x)
  • Sony 1x-8x DVD+R = 2x detected
  • Princo 4x DVD-R = 2x detected

While it looks like some media compatability has improved, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

If you can add your media tests to the comments, that would help.
