Another Pioneer BDR-209M owner here, this one inside a Buffalo BRXL-16U3.
This drive neither sees nor reads Blu-ray discs.

Would you have a firmware update/patch to fix this?
Thanks!

Throwing this out there again in case you missed it. Maybe my drive can't be firmware flashed, which is cool, just thought I'd make sure. Thanks again and happy to donate to the cause.
