I have an Iomega Super DVD drive - DVDRW16xUSB (Serial # CHAE45030Y) that I have been using for about a year with Sony 8x media. Someone recently gave me some 16x dvd-r media that will not record. From everything that I have read, I need the latest firmware for my recorder to use these 16x dvd's but I cannot find iomega firmware.

I looked all over their website and in the tech chat they just tell me to use their software. I've been using Nero and like it a lot. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Go to this site, http://www.firmware.fr.st/ click on download search, type in burner model. There are several iomega burners there, locate your model and download.

I can't seem to figure out this site, and the firmware that I find looks to be old, does anyone have any experience with this site that can help me out.

@IomegaSux
You need the model # of your burner to find the latest firmware. You can also try iomega website or this site also:
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php
Just using iomega or super dvd won't help - model # is needed.

DVDRW16xUSB is the only model number that I can find on the unit. I have looked all over the iomega website and can't find anything. All the firmware for iomega burners on the firmware site you provided for me look really old.

Well that site is a pain!! (iomega). There should be a model # listed somewhere on that drive - your looking for something like this if the oem is LG:HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-XXXXX (usually #'s and a letter) or the oem may be liteon: SOHW-1663.
You need the correct model # to get the correct firmware.
One question are you trying to burn the 16x media at 16x? Even with newer firmware I won't burn at max. With your drive and good media I would burn at 8x at long as the media was rated 8x speed.

I plan on burning at 8x or 4x but Nero won't recognize the dvd's and I can't burn them at all.

I have looked all over the drive and the box but I still do not see a model number. The only # I have not posted is the p/n 37367200

Well IomegaSux I'm stumped - the model # is really needed for the correct firmware.
here's the closest I come to your drive - oem is LiteOn:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DVDnameid=784&Search=Sear...
But clicking on to more info leads to a dead end at iomega website - frimware and model #. Guess that's why your nic is 'IomegaSux'.
I think you'll need to contact them to sort this out.
What brand of media is it anyhow? That may be another problem.
