Our System Administrator Torsten, who around here is better known as Liggy, has just updated his firmware flashing tool for NEC and compatible drives. For those that don't know yet, this is a collection of tools that will also allow you to transfer your ROM from your drive and save it to disc. The program is actually a collaberation of effort from people like Herrie who provided Liggy with the information about the commands for flashing. This allowed Liggy to complete the implementation and command line versions. In addition, a contribution was made by r-man who coded the GUI version that we see the screenshots of below. Couple that with all the valuable input and feedback from the NEC Forum members and you can see this has been quite a fun project.

For those of you interested in trying out this new software, you can find a download here. In addition, on the same page is detailed documentation that you should read first and also a complete listing of command line switches. Then make sure to stop by the NEC Forums to visit with the other members that have been using this program.
