Well I flashed the firmware for my acer1208a to the most recent firmware update listed on the following site: ####://perso.club-internet.fr/farzeno/firmware/ There are still other questions that I have to ask...

1) Is this drive overburn capable and if so can it handle 90min or 99minute cdr's?
2) Is there any information on the net appertaining to the purpose, bug fixes, and or enhancements of firmware version updates 9.gb and 9.jb, if so where is it?

I must admit that I have more successful burns at 12x and less buffer underrun errors with this new firmware update. (buffer underrun---seamless link???) Plus it isn't quite as picky about the cd-media I use. This is a plus, but, what about 90 or 99minute cdr's???
