So this is not only an intelligence test, but also a contest,
a tournament ;)
OK, found the %spftw.. and the unpacked Opal_103.bin in the
Win-user's LocalSettings temp dir. Now, have I proven worthy :)
[But seriously, wouldnt that be something for a readme for
pxupdate - there is absolutely no reason to keep this a secret!?]
Flashed it with pxupdate-1.34 - worked.
Recorded a DVD-R successfully using the following 2liner:
TSIZE=`mkisofs -R -J -f -print-size $1 $2 $3 2>&1 | tail -1`
mkisofs -R -J -f $1 $2 $3 2>/dev/null | cdrecord-proDVD dev=0,0,0 speed=8 tsize=${TSIZE}s -dao -v -
Did not try DVD+R: you said the session close problem is known
and planned to be fixed, so will have to wait for some 2.01a13.
Finally tried another one of the Imation (according to ATIP Ricoh)
media DVD+R using growisofs (which worked for all other media I
tried) to check if fw 1.03 helped. And voila - it did not get
stuck on session close. Am not 100% sure if that might not be
random behaviour, but the first two Imation I tried (with old fw)
got stuck, while non of the other DVD+R did.
So finally, things look quite OK at the moment: cdrecord-proDVD
works for DVD-R (and maybe soon DVD+R), growisofs works for +/-.
pxupdate allows flashing the drive.
This may be the beginning of the end of this thread ;)
