A few more single layer roms can be upgraded to dual layer. See if your is listed. (Seems I should have read the magazine instead of looking at the video on the cover CD. )
1/ BenQ DW800A - Upgradable to BenQ DW822A
2/ BenQ822A - BenQ Europe will offer a dual-layer firmware on September 30, 2004. (I'm getting this straight out of the magazine so I can't explain why 1 & 2 have the same model)
3/ Gigabyte GO-W0808A - rebaged Lite-on SOHW-812S. Firmware upgrade to SOHW-832S.
4/ Lite-on LDW-451S - Firmware upgrade to SOHW-832S.
5/ Lite-on LDW-851S - Firmware upgrade to SOHW-832S.
6/ Lite-on SOHW-812S. Firmware upgrade to SOHW-832S.+
7/ NEC ND-2500A. Upgradable to NEC ND-2510A.
8/ NuTech DDW-081. Firmware upgrade (when available) to NuTech DDW-082. This will not work with all DDW-081 drives. The initial laser calibrationwas not done to a high enough standard. It will require a hand picked model.
9/ NuTech DDW-061. Firmware upgrade to NuTech DDW-082 when released. The initial laser calibrationwas not done to a high enough standard. It will require a hand picked model.
10/ NuTech DDW-082 - Firmware upgrade when available.
11/ Sony DW-U18A - rebaged Lite-on SOHW-812S. Firmware upgrade to Lite-on SOHW-832S.
12/ Teac DV-W58G-A - rebaged Lite-on SOHW-812S. Firmware upgrade to Lite-on SOHW-832S.
This list is growing by the week.
Do some digging around & see what you can come up with.
