Hi bpa, The firmware on my Sony DDU1615 DVD-ROM is identified as GYS1 (Feb 24, 2006). I custom-build PC's, this machine is my own build. Do you think there is still hope, for me to get CDPlayer working on my Windows XP rig? If so, I will continue to try, with your kind help... -- NewBuyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewBuyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7862 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42106 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
