Have done some searching on my old posts regarding old NEC burners such as yours...

(here's a link to one of them, at the very least it reminded me of a fun thread - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/197820)

Anyway, the standard 1100A can manage the following = 4.0x DVD+R, 2.4x DVD+RW

From looking here - http://herrie.org/upgrdr.html the 1100A can be morphed into a 1300A, (ie via firmware update you can wring a little more life out of this burner, but not a great deal as 4x discs are becoming more scarce now) but it's a 50% success rate for either (i interpret the success rate to mean 50% success rate of burning to media at the newer speeds of the 1300A firmware, not 50% chance of the firmware upgrade itself working).

if you morph this old drive into a 1300A, you have access to the following new capabilities - 4.0x DVD-R & 2.0x DVD-RW
