I just purchased an unused UD03 from Japan and plan to get another 2 or 3 units. Once I receive the first drive, I will post my drive's information.

I do have one question in advance of getting the drive; does the flasher work only once? Or is it possible to use with all the drives I buy?

Thanks!
