Thanks for repliing. I wasn't for sure if there were certain things i needed to check or change before it would run properly. The firmware is fine. I'm very pleased with this NEC compared to my old Memorex 2.4x.

Again, thanks!

Transfer Mode - DMA if available. Current Transfer Mode - Ultra DMA Mode 2. This is for both Primary and Secondary. So all is good with thise settings.

I have the 3550A and have used liggy and dee's 1y5 rpc1. Excellent results.

Now all my burns are booktyped DVD-ROM. I am getting 97.8% quality scans with this drive using Verbatim DVD+R 8x. I am very pleased with this drive.

Cheers.
