If the above mentioned sites did not give you workable firmware for your NEC drive, then you probably have an OEM version.

My first suggestion is to go back to your manufacturer Dell and see if they have a firmware upgrade for your drive.

Also you might look at this site below which may have an unofficial firmware for your Dell OEM drive.

Please note that flashing firmware has its risks. I would check with Dell first for any official firmware before risking a hacked version.
