Grain Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I know there is a 20X BenQ coming out quick, although word on the street for it is Liteon rebadged. This model you mention I haven't heard of. In the past, BenQ's that were RAM ready had a Panasonic chipset I believe, and weren't widely appreciated.

polopony Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 its getting ridiculous with the rebadging and the takeovers of companies ,we here kinda know about it but I've read more than a few posts extolling the virtues of Sony and how they make blah blah blah when they haven't made any drives for a good while ,then its Sony -Nec, Lite on Sony ,LiteOn -BenQ, Optirac . Hey the new 20x drives are out ,big deal , most of the public are really misinformed or just plain dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontasciime Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I ended up buying the drive for a laugh, just installed it into sumvision caddy, turns out to be a Benq DW1670 No solidburn,overspeed, or quality scans auto booktype dvd-rom on dvd+ and Dl+ test write enable/disable Can set +rw to dl+ dvd-r etc (lol) just finished burning my first disc on it, A CMC AM3, (don,t laugh aint had one fail to playback) and no the data is still readable 1yr on from previous burns. and then scanned on 1670 (not quite right) only choices were CAV so choose 8x CAV same disc scanned on liteon 160P6S Edited January 10, 2007 by dontasciime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythmeister Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hey all, just stumbled across the forum whilst trying to get my drive to stop making coasters of my new Ritek dye DVD9s. It's the drive in this thread but I'm wondering if there's any firmware available to bring it up to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 How does it identify itself to the system? (e.g. the name shown in ImgBurn's Write mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
