archgon Ultra Slim Portable Drive (Model: MD-8107-U3)

Post by nkley »

Hey guys,

I've using this drive for a few years now to rip UHD discs and the other day it broke on me for whatever reason. I bought a new one but now I need to flash it and I can't remember how I did it last time but it was as simple as copying and pasting a command into the control center on a PC. I bought a little PC so I can do the same thing but I can't seem to find the right commands to plug in to get it flashed. Can anyone help me out? I'm not smart enough for this stuff and I just want to get back to ripping my favorite UHD movies as they come out :)

To add, I normally use a mac so if there's anyway to do it on a mac, even better.

Having trouble with the "all you need" firmware pack. I'm not seeing anything specific to the archgon. Is there one that works universally for all drives of this type?

On the mac/linux steps, step number 4 is where I'm getting stuck. How do I copy the sdf.bin and the other drive info into the /tmp folder in the terminal?

It doesn't really matter where you store those files as long as you properly reference them on the command line. '/tmp' is a common unix reference for 'a temporary place'.

On the Mac, if you stored them in a folder on your desktop, you can drag the file into Terminal and the fully qualified path to that file will appear. Using this trick, you can 'build' the necessary command line for your specific system and file locations.
