Ok...I've looked everywhere for a firmware for this and found this: http://tdb.rpc1.org/#GDR8164B
I've tried all the .exe files and none of them work and it gives me this error:
"This Program can't be used for the selected device"
Don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's some info about the drive from DiscInfo:
