Hey

I've got a 52x24x52 TX Uranus CDRW, but I'm not sure where to get the firmware from. I know it's a rebadged lite-on, but I caren't going to risk flashing it with lite-on firmware. I've tried searching and come up with nuttin'.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Tim

What firmware is on it now?

To all users who have tx CD-RW drives the firmware can obtained from the following link. http://www.txeurope.com/ini/drivers.asp
I hope this helps people without endless searching for the firmware.

At the aforementioned URL, you won't get firmware updates for the latest drive.

Try http://www.traxdata.fr/www/contact.php
then support, then firmware.

One of the best Websites to get your latest Firmware is :-
http://forum.firmware-flash.com/portal.php
and you will find the Firmware for your writer at :-

I hope this Helps !!!

I would stay away from those Think Xtra (not Traxdata) firmwares. They're just poorly modified Lite-ON firmwares.

Hi Dave
If they are bad what are they doing on the Website Especially seeing though you are a Moderator over there but thanks for the Info Anyway LOL !!!

Also you say use the 6SG4 update from here: http://www.4kus.com.tw/download.htm
There isn't one it only has the 6SG5 !!!

The best place I have found after doing a lot of research is the one which djuls posted earlier which is the Original TX Uranus Version : VSG7 and it is the Latest !!!

This post is pretty old. 6SG4 was the newest at the time. And, like I said, Think Xtra is not the same company as Traxdata, most of the firmwares that come from Think Xtra are just modified Lite-ON firmwares. They're on The Firmware Page because they're firmwares, we post that they're just modified...

People can use any firmware that they want...

OK Dave Understood !!!
Perhaps you will add the link that djuls has kindly given us to your List on your Site [?]

Hi,
Got an Uranus TX 522452,read somewhere it could burn a 700mo Cd in about 2 minutes,and even though I upgraded the firmware to 6SG4, it takes more than 10 mn to burn such a CD certified 48x with the uptodate Nero or Easycd creator,2 mn more than with my previous plextor 8x4x32.Of course with buffer underunprevention unchecked,disk at once checked. I wonder if it comes from my hard disk that is an IBM deskstar 120 Go 7200, cause I tried to burn files from a friend of mine Western Digital and it seemed to be faster.How can it be? My second question is I tried to upgrade from 6SG4 to 6SG5 and I got a message that it could not find the device to patch, even though I can see it on the list of those it detected.
Do I have to get it changed ?
Thanks for help.

Well I have tested mine since I upgraded thr Firmware and mine has no problems with either of your problems !!!
1> What media are you trying to run at 52x !!![?]
2> Would it do both of these operations before you Upgraded the Firmware !!![?]
3> If it did do them flash it back to the old Firmware and then try it !!!
