Got me an ASUS BW-16D1X-U

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom2
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: E113
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 78

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: ID76

I presume since I've seen flashes for the E116 version, that the E113 also has a patcher?

Nope. The firmware is too new so your drive cannot be flashed to enable libredrive and UHD support. You will have to wait for future support.
Cheers :D
