Hi labajue
The latest is P1.6 - here's a link.
The will be a file in this download that will try you how to update the firmware.
it's pretty easy - only takes a few minutes.

Sorry about that labajue I forgot to mention that those are the same models for this drive - glad you sorted that out!

Datawrite uses different manufacturers - some good and some bad.
So pop a blank disc in the drive. In Nero SmartStart go to ToolKit>cd-dvd speed>disc info tab.
Check the manufacturer.
If it's MCC, TY, Ritek, Ricoh try 8x - should be good.
It's what I burn at on good media.

Any other manufacturers show up - take it down to 4x.
