Hello, I need to do a firmware update for my cdrw and because of a missing linux program for doing that I thought of using wine for trying it. I call the programm FlashTool.exe and no error messages occur. (The surface really looks great!) The programm detects correctly the flashable cdrw-drive even with ide-scsi and the non-flashable cdrom. But then when I click on "continue" nothing happens, the programm is still "usable", that means I can quit it without any error-message but the firmware update is of course not done. Now two questions: Is the idea of using an emulator to update the firmware totally stupid, or might there be a chance for getting it work? What debugging options can I use to give you more information? Winerelease is 20010418 an the update-program is located at traxdata.com/support/cd-r/drivers/files/cdrw8432.zip The cdrw is connected to the 2nd port as slave and used with the ide-scsi emulation driver. Thank you and I hope you can help me... Flo -- Please excuse my english! *g*

And have the phone number of the drive manufacturer handy if you screw up the drive beyonf repair...
