I'm starting to think that there is a relationship between the Artec firmware and Aopen, although I am not prepared to flash my Artec with Aopen firmware ;) I just received today the 1.26 version of the Artec/Ultima firmware, only 1 place above the Aopen, and guess what, it burns Acer CDRs at the full 20x speed as well ;) Perhaps Aopen (or Ricoh) are giving different version numbers for the same firmware with different model numbers, although the two files do appear to be totally different it seems too big a coincidence to me... Looking at these two drives I think this makes the Artec excellent value for money as the Aopen 20x is around 10-15% more expensive than the Artec and they appear to be much the same drive...
