dontasciime

download this from my ftp then extract it to your desktop. read the read me, as i have set up the drive letter to be G: as indicated in your posts, etc, run dvrflash by double clicking, it will tell you the drive letter of your pioneer drive. If it says G: then run the file called ascii. then follow onscreen prompts. This is at your own risk just to cover everyones back, also dvrflash asks you to accept anyways. check that the firmware inc is the same for your drive im 99.9% certain it is, as indicated in the posts. someone else may check to be sure. do not have a disc in the 107 when you flash it, make sure if you got key electric meter its got some money on it. cannot remember if your allowed to have cd tray open or not, i have flash before on pioneer with draw open and closed and flash was successful, someone else will tell you for sure if you do some searches. AsciiFlash

i use nero 5 on this computer xp pro sp2 and no problems...the last version of nero 5 to be more precise.

and me which is why i reflashed it.

well i burnt another 4 after that using the icy box with the philips drive in it this caddie uses ALI m5621 A1 and used SPTI and all were perfect, does not matter what enclosure i put the pioneer 109 in still errors out, with semaphore using SPTI and invalid write address using wnaspi32, so i decided to turn it into a dvd rom drive instead and took off the Rip lock...

Have the pioneer 109's got a rip lock, as i hex edited the 158 firmware, but i forgot to test before i flashed it, since then i have put the original 158 firmware back in, and its ripping a dual layer at the moment @11.2 and rising... i think i remember reading that the 109 did not have the rip lock but the A09 did, that might be the other way round. anyone care to comment , thanks ignore what i typed above, my 109 is rip locked, just so happens that the original of PUMP IT UP dance work out is not encrypted Testing with titan ae and its ripping at 2.4 - 3.0 x

dbminter which drive you using in the enclosure with ali chipset, a pioneer based one ? as i have one of the philips drives from svp in there at the minute using spti and although this is just one burn it seems fine, though the writing speed is only at 6x even though i chose 8, it coud be down to the disc that though. gonna try making a few backups using spti, and wnaspi32..with philips drive. [Edit] so far i have burnt 3 discs using spti and ali m5621 without semaphore timeout using philips drive, im gonna try my own now as he wants it back.

i wasnt using my k8n neo plat, but that blew up, replaced it with dfi lanparty ut, then it started whilst using wnaspi32, but i suspect my 109 is broken as using the new enclosure i got from svp which uses prolific chipset , i got 97 semaphore errors after disc finished burning using spti though, but the new philips drive is OK, so gonna do some further testing today as i got another enclosure that uses prolific and anotehr one of those philips drives from svp to test, though the test will involve my pioneer 109 and 110, on dfi, then on msi k8n neo plat 2 i just built up. [edit] when using the elby io and the icy box which uses ali m5621 1a was getting loads of semaphore time out errors as well on the suspected faulty 109

LOL

you are more than likely right about the packet writing software, first thing i would have done with that pc was to make a ghost image of everything on there, or look for the hidden partition and backit up, then delete it, which would probably void your warranty, then reinstall xp if they gave it to you, which i doubt, if you got the sticker on pc, i would phone them up and demand the cd they installed xp with. You paid for it, or find a mate with the corp edition and install then just put in the programs you use and like.

LOL. Can only fit one drive in enclosure at a time. just pleased it works with the philips, gonna start builing up one of my new 939 boards msi k8n neo plat2, well it aint new i had it 17months sat in cupboard, will try 109 in there and see if its fooked, only burnt about 30 discs on it, got no idea when or where i bought it. Might order another one of these enclosures and another philips drive, then test the 109 in that enclosure and then update firmware in enclosure to see if it fixes it etc, though i suspect the 109 has had it, will put one of the other philips i got back in ICY box and try that also. The other enclosure that svp sell the usb only uses genesys GL811 chipset you ever used anything with that in or anyone else reading this ever used an enclosure that uses that chipset ?

ta, was planning to use usb to flash, if i decide to do it, will run it with the philips drive for now, then if i suspect after getting my pioneer 111 in a few days time i may try the 111 in enclosure, if i get any issues with it i will update firmware in enclosure... Did you get one of the philips drives ?19.99 from svp ? I quite like the burn from what i have seen of it, i like the way the write rate steadily goes up and the buffer only slightly fluctuates

i searched on google just checked back in here to ask if there is a way to find out the firmware already on the enclosure, i have not finished reading about it yet, so that info may be on their site, or maybe it show you when you run the program. i have downloaded all the firmwares, i have to have the firmware i am using, just a rule i like to keep to, as i have no probs with the firmware in enclosure using the philips drive. def 3507 as looked at chip on pcb as soon as i got it. that def the romwriter i need to run yeah ?

is the firmware for the enclosure on the supplied disc, can you also jump backward and forward between firmwares for the enclosure ? I stuck one of the 3 philips drives i got from svp and its fine for 5 burns so far. so it would appear that either my 109 is responsible(it has latest firmware 1.58) unless there is a 1.59, strange that my brand new 110 (1.17) seemed to do same thing as the 109 in the ICY box though if i can be bothered might try the 110 in the new enclosure from svp...

just been looking at the usb2 only version of that on svp, just asked em what chipset it has as well. and i have never had timeout using wnaspi32, can you still get the adaptec one though, is that the aspi v4.70 etc, been a while since i used them, and am i remembering correctly that 4.60 is a better choice than the newer one or was it 4.71 sucked .. it my be my new dfi lanpary ut has issues with usb2 ext boxes, there is only one bios update avail, and the bios thats in now indicates in read me that it,s supposed to fix usb2 hangs etc. And yeah i looked at how outdated 110d firmware was, but decided to just download em at the minute until i build my new computer up and install it to case /ide not gonna take chance and update firmware whilst in external. i pressume you can update them in external anyways, but not gonna even if i could. i tried also to download 1.17 from rpc seems file they link to is corrupt, as i always like to have the firmware that comes installed into any of my drives, just to put back if i have to. wonder what cypress chipset is like i will check ata-6 specs again. thanks edit, decided to buy the combo from svp as well as my 3rd philips writer, known my luck they be crap , if they are might just see how fast i can get discs to spin in them. elby i/o also gives semaphore timeout expired.. also did someone delete a post i made in this topic, or did i somehow manage to post it in a different topic, or i might have forgotten to press add reply

anyone using this chipset for external drive and spti Cypress (USB 2.0) ATA-6 chipsets

i thought they were xp cd keys

i have now changed the drive in the enclosure for a brand new pioneer 110d and still doing it, i suspect a hardware error in the enclosure or is the error in log file an indication of something else, could it be the version of wnaspi32 from latest version of nero 6.

i know i can get it working by installing, just wanted to see if i could use it without installing, i could but it requires quite a bit of messing on with the kernel, dll, registry control sets etc, SO i think i will just install the trial. my external 109 seems to hate everything now since my msi board blew up and i replced it wth the dfi, gets lots of write retries even when using wnaspi32, so im gonna now have to test it inside machine to rule out usb2, or put another brand new drive in enclosure and see what happens.

I like to experiment. I have to use wnaspi32 with my external dvd writer, as spti and the chipset in my external writer (ali chipset revision 1 no flash) do not get on IE you get Semaphore time out. I got imgburn using wnaspi32 and the older program using spti for internal writing on 108 just wanted to try the elby one instead of aheads.

is that on their site for download, just the I/O i thought it used to be but cannot seem to find it now.

can you just drop the elby dll files straight into imgburn folder, like i have done with wnaspi32. or do you need to install clone etc, as it comes up with error when i just drop em in the imgburn folder. this may be down to it being an old version, not sure what latest version is, as i found a version of clone on my hard drive I 21:41:21 ImgBurn Version 1.1.0.0 started!

it may be your trying to use the flash file from an xlb on a non xlb drive or the other way round etc. and before you flash try just burning those discs at 6x max as on one of my pioneer drives those discs bomb, and if you have a flash in that allows higher burning than normal, drop the max speed to burn them down to the rated speed of discs, ie if they are 4x max but your using a hacked flash to allow higher burning then just use rated speed.

belated greetings, hope you had fun

whats with the pop ups, i do not get pop ups, they are blocked by sp2
