• DVD-RAM Woes

    From Lorenzo Mollicone@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 31 16:15:05 2019
    That DVD-RAM – found instructions on Kevin’s site to update the microcode.

    (http://ps-2.kev009.com/rs6000-firmware/16xdvdram.html)

    Except it failed.

    Drive went from reporting:

    Any thoughts how to reflash the microcode?

    It’s no longer showing in Download Microcode resources in the diag menu.

    It’s a Hitachi/LG GSA-4080B
