LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[MartyMcNuts]

Good evening,

Here are the credentials of my drive. This Is the first time it has shown status Enabled for LibreDrive since I owned it and it was one of the dreadful firmware 1.03 which wasn't supported initially. As this is a UHD "capable" drive, Do I still need to flash it to rip UHD? I have a Mac by the way, and don't have access to windows. Thank you in advance!

Nope. Good to go!

Great, Thanks!

I think Marty has forgot about me
I have drives available and more Pioneer stock arriving shortly. The global supply is running very low, but we are fortunate to have secured additional units that were initially held back for warranty purposes.
You can find the current Pioneer Libre-Drive Friendly Blu-ray Writer Drive BDR-XD08TBSG LibreDrive Friendly model here for under £300.00.

Stock is running low on the above drive, but hopefully we will have a bulk order before Christmas.
