BD-RE Correct firmware

[salterjohn]

Like a number of others here I have a USB Buffalo drive BD-RE, but I am little confused as to the correct firmware to use for this? BU40n or BP50-60, or something else?

Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct binary? Also is the patched ASUS flash tool suitable for this job?

BU40!

[salterjohn]

Thanks Jonghotti,

That was more straightforward than I thought!
In the MK pack there are five BU40's that all seem to be regional variants: (tribute band that sing 'Red Red Wine' in different accents)
BU40N-B-Japan-Buffalo
BU40N-FR (France I assume)
BU40N-N
BU40N-R-Taiwan
BU40N-U

I can discount Japan, France and Taiwan as I'm in the UK, so assume I'm after either BU40N-N or BU40N-U?

Is it safe to flash this with the patched ASUS tool?

Any advice gratefully received.

Many thanks
John

BU40N-N

It was just discovered that "N" is the ultimate one - viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22673
Still no info on what is "FR" variant...
