I bought the pioneer 109 and updated it to the new firmware. I did it becouse the old firmware wouldant burn on cheap dvds.
I updated the firmware and now it burns on lots of cheap dvds. It can make your drive less noisey as well.
Updateing is easy becouse the software dose it for you. Just hope the power dosent go off becouse your drive dies.

Oem means without any software and its cheaper :-)

If you use Nero then goto "Recorder", then "Choose Recorder" and ensuring the writer is selected (most probably will be) then within the specs at the bottom of the window you have "firmware revision: "

You can download firmware direct from Pioneer's website here.

If I remember correctly ensure that there is no disc in the writer at the time of upgrading its firmware.
