Since I got asked, where the firmware for the Amilo D 7830 can be found, I
post it here to the archive, too.
The DVD Writer is a Ricoh RW8160 DVD+RW
The Fujitsu-Siemens download page:
http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/DriverCD/Start_gb_AMILO.htm?uri=/DRIVERCD/_DriverSteuerung/GB/Amilo/Amilo_Dx830_755IA5_Auswahl.htm&menu=/DriverCD/_1st_Start/GB/MenuListe_AMILO.htm
refers to version 1.07 of the firmware:
http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/DriverCD/Files_gepackt/_Fixes_and_Patches/FW-Update_V1.07_DVD+RW_Ricoh_RW8160/FW-Update_V1.07_for_DVD+RW_Ricoh_RW8160.zip
IIRC, I read on some message board, that there were still problems with
this firmware. Maybe that's the reason, why I have version 1.08 installed
here. Anyway, this firmware can be found on a Ricoh page:
