DW1655 FW upgrade

[Pain_Man]

New firmware upgrade for the DW1655. Naturally, it won't work for me (and DIP reports that the drive is not "microcode upgradeable" which I take to mean it can't be flashed--or am I wrong?).

 

But for those it does work for, here's the url:

DIP says that for mine too but that's just because thats what the drive reports.

 

It CAN be flashed though.

Just flashed mine - thanks PM !

If only it WOULD flash!! It would also be nice if I could know why it won't.

 

I've tried everything I can think of...and nothing. The last thing left is plugging it into another PC and flashing it and then putting it back into my desktop.

 

My grandfather would have called that "goin' 'round the mountain to piss next door" but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

 

I have to find out if my second desktop (a PIII 1000) is compatible with DW1655.

Odd they'd bring out a new version so quickly. Must've fucked something up in the last one.

That's for the 1650 not the 1655 my Friend.
