There is a new firmware: 1.36 -> 1.44
I'll have to put it in my Windo~1 box and update it. Thanks for the
tip. Hopefully that'll work. If not, I'll have to get this deal:
bestbuy.com has a Philips 8x cd burner for $70 this week, then Philips
has a $40 rebate, so it comes out to $30. :) With all the talk of
burning CDs, if anyone is interested in the details, let me know. 8x
isn't as fast as some, but for $30, why not?
