The drive platform for the 209 is missing (crucial!). Add this information and I will send the packages for all three.

The 209's don't provide any LibreDrive platform info within MakeMKV. This was copied verbatim. Is there another way to retrieve it?

That's weird. I am going to send you the packages for the other 2 drives and instructions how to check the 209. It's crucial since there are 3 versions / possibilities and you need the right version to flasht the 209.
