External Buffalo BRXL-16U3 (BH16NS48) flashable?

Post by applejuice »

Hi, I still have an external Buffalo BRXL-16U3 drive that I bought in Germany in 2014.

Am I correct in thinking that there is no custom firmware for UHD for this drive?

Product: BD-RE BH16NS48
Platform MT1939

You can't add attachments here.

No, your drive uses the old MT1939 drive platform and is not capable of reading UHD discs.
Cheers :D

Okay, thanks for confirming my hunch...
Then I'll get rid of the drive and look for a suitable replacement.
