It would fail. (just did not screen capture at that point)
This drive cannot set book type on DVD + R SL (with nec original firmware)
For DVD+R DL it Auto book types to DVD-ROM
This was not acceptable to me, the screen shot was to demonstrate wtf at having 500 changes available which i have never seen before, which lead to the scans etc for info on drive.
I flashed it about 2 Min's after installing it, on that note anyone else with this drive wishing to flash, boot into safe mode in xp to flash, also if connected via IDE knock drive into pio mode, if not either of these can cause a firmware checksum error, I flashed mine whilst in external via USB2 in safe mode.
