On NEC's web site it says
The above NEC firmware upgrades should not be used with external USB / FireWire drives or with OEM drives from HP, DELL, Medion, Fujitsu, Siemens, Gateway, or any other OEM manufacturer. If you wish to update the firmware on an OEM drive, please contact the dealer or manufacturer.

Who here has an external burner and how do you update the firmware for it. Or am i just reading this wrong? Is updating the firmware that important because it seems like there are a lot of risks involved. I'd just like some directions on how to update this without ruining my drive. My burner hasn't arrived yet so I can't test it out with the original firmware. Any help is appreciated.

I have an OEM NEC 3520A burner in a Bytecc USB external enclosure. I was able to update my firmware without any problems. I downloaded the firmware and I just follow the directions. So just follow directions and you?ll be ok.
