I have NEC 2500A with firmware 1.07 installed. I checked the global Nec site and under firmware for this drive it shows 1.0A as latest update firmware.

Now I don't understand how they number it as it appears to me that 1.07 would be newer than 1.0A. Does anyone know.

I attempted to flash it and the window shows current firmware loaded as 1.07 and update firmware as 1.0A.. It asks me if I want to update. The flash update is suppose to tell me if the installed firmware is more current than the one I am trying to flash. It does not tell me that so I assume the 1.0A is latest one.

Advise.

1.0A is the latest official firmware.
1.07 is original firmware
Then came 1.09
and now 1.0A
You can find the manufacturer and modified firmwares here

Flashing Tip:
The NEC 2500a prefers to be flashed when it is installed as the Master drive on the secondary IDE channel

Thanks for this information. My NEC is the master so I disabled the other drive (slave) on this ribbon. Did the flash just fine.
