    go to any Web search engine and type in as follows "THE FIRMWARE PAGE" (without the quotes.) u will find all the firmware under the sun for any drives at this site.... i upgraded my Plexie with this new firmware and had nothing but hassle running WinXP.. i had to install the drive on a machine that was running Win98SE and i unchecked the DMA option in Device Manager and then downgraded the firmware to 1.04.. now my drive is working fine .... and i went back to using Win2000 Pro.... maybe i had other probs with my system under WinXP... i don't know... so be careful guys... and make sure the DMA function is turned off on the O/S befor u do the FIRMWARE upgrade..

    I think they removed the firmware upgrade because they found out it was not working properly on all systems!! Frown
