Hitachi drive BH16NS60 on LibreDrive positive list fails

Hi all
I just installed my new UHD Bluray drive: a Hitachi/LG BH16NS60 with firmware version 1.00 and date as listed in the supported LibreDrive firmware list on the thread here at this forum.
- supported frimwares.png (68.11 KiB) Viewed 12123 times
However MakeMKV fails to rip the UHD disc with these messages and info (in attached screenshot).
What is wrong?
As I read from the blog post about LibreDrive, makeMKV should be able to rip from this drive with no problems...?

Have you or anyone else previously flashed this drive’s firmware at all?

No, this seems new. It won't be necessary to flash it but Mike is going to have LibreDrive support for that firmware.

ah so I've misunderstood?
LibreDrive is not available...yet?
And there is nothing I can do but wait?
And no - the drive's firmware hasn't been flashed - but it shouldn't need to either?

Ok so did some more research it seems that I need to flash the drive with MKV's firmware (MK).
I have downloaded the firmware .bin but I cannot find a flasher.
The polish one in this link :
https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/f29/crossflash ... s58-96313/
which seems to be the recommended one, seems to be unavailable.
So where do I get a flasher that can flash my drive with the MK firmware (I'm on windows 10 64-bit)?

After some more research I found a flasher that worked for me here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/102V7DU ... meZTN/view
The firmware included in that download were
not used.
I used the "original" one that matched my drive from this site here:
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 113#p71880
This so others looking for a solution can have one
My drive is happily ripping my UHD bluray for my Plex now - I will probably have to look into more storage now as those mkv files are huge
