No

[mikeman]

And any chance that a workaround will be found for the December 2022 firmware in future?
I'm very patient

Most likely yes we are unsure if it will require firmware flashing or just a libredrive update

[mikeman]

Cool - thanks! Will continue to monitor news here then

Just for interest, does anyone know how that Pioneer drive differs functionally from this one please?

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr1

I don't know what the "Drive platform" "RS9621" vs "RS9331" signifies, nor "ID69" vs "ID05", especially since my drive has a later "revision" than that one.

Thanks for any input here.

The XS08U drive is a slot-loader (and a very nice one too), that’s all I can tell you - hope it helps.

[MrPenguin]

The XS08U drive is a slot-loader

Yes, and I believe the "U" signifies "UHD-capable". My "XD08U" has a "liftable lid", which is presumably what the "D" means too. But "slot-loader vs liftable-ld" is just the drive's "form-factor". I would (naively) have expected our two drives to be more similar at the firmware level .

No. Until there is a Libredrive 2.0. No ETA.
