Please Charlie tell me

I just wanna have an information about your Origa chip, because I may buy one(I have a scph 10000):

-You have the 1.11 ver. Does it play DVDR
-What kind of ver. of DVD region X or you using (pal, jap or ?)
-Do you have any problems with originals or backups?

Now there is a new version of the origa (1.2 from 10th dec. 01)
I heard that the ver. 1.12 wasn't good, I hope the new one is ok!

Thanx for answering!
