    Hi!
    I've completely upgraded my laptop (CPU, RAM, HDD, ODD, WiFi, added TurboMemory). So it's not Asus F3Sr anymore :) It's something custom.
    My latest addition was replacement of ODD (now it's Panasonic UJ-220S).

    Sony and Dell released new firmware for their OEM UJ-220 drives with LTH media support. But it's only for Sony and Dell. Is there any way to update firmware of "generic" drive? I'm a private person and just bought new drive from Ebay, so I have no OEM support (and I don't need it - I need only a generic firmware with LTH support).

    Can anybody help me, please?
