What's the current firmware version of your Sony DRU-840A?

Here's some user feedback on your Rebadged Samsung 202j burner:

http://club.cdfreaks.com/f105/sony-dru-8...cussion-227017/

Lots of scans and which blank media it prefers. Some of them have updated the fw to SS01

Edit: I checked the prices-cheapest for the Samsung 202j is $31.95

Cheapest for the Sony DRU-840A- $61.54

Twice the price for the sony name? Another sony ripoff!
