DVD/CD Firmware Upgrading

• Binflash (formerly called Uniflash) - Supports native firmware flashing of NEC, Optiarc and NEC/Optiarc compatible drives

Possible (UNTESETED - MAY STUFF UP) solutions for other drives include:

• Booting using FreeDOS and DOS flash utility - Guide here

NB: You most likely need 2 optical drives and need to put the CD in the drive you don't want to flash OR a motherboard that supports booting from USB

• Wine and Windows flash utility
