Re: [TriLUG] a 'non-windows' method to upgrade BIOS/firmware?

[Douglas Kojetin]

Here's my output -- I'm using a 'different' drive.  They've released 
new firmware, but ... I can't figure out how to install it w/o using 
Windows (or just using at Windows install disk, at the bare minimum, 
without installing).

My guess = that it's the drive, since the media seems to work fine on a 
SuperDrive on an iMac.

# scsi_info /dev/scd0
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-411S"
FW_REV="FS02"
# scsi_info /dev/cdrom
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-411S"
FW_REV="FS02"
Argh!

This got no errors.

I was hoping that upgrading the firmware of the unit might help out,
but ... not sure!  Again, it seems I can burn things just fine under 
OS
X with the *exact* same media.  I've tried it with 2 DVD-RW discs.

Anyone know why I might get an I/O error ... bad burn?  media?
read/dma settings?

Just off hand, make sure you're using ide-scsi on that drive.  You
probably wouldn't have gotten that far without it though.  I guess this
means it's media or the drive...
here's my scsi_info to compare to yours
# scsi_info /dev/scd0
SCSI_ID="0,0,0"
MODEL="LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-451S"
FW_REV="GSB4"
