Hi everyone:
I'm hoping someone can verify the current Mac OS flashing procedure for my drive.
HARDWARE
ASUS BW-16D1X-U (external)
Firmware: A105
Platform: MT1959
LibreDrive status: Possible, not yet enabled
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Computer
2023 Mac Studio (Apple Silicon)
macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
MakeMKV 1.18.4
The drive is detected correctly by both MakeMKV and makemkvcon.
Running:
./makemkvcon f -l
returns:
00: /IOBDServices/D549E7B7
ASUS_BW-16D1X-U_A105_2120120211114_KL9P99F0300
I have already downloaded:
ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin
My goal is primarily UHD ripping, but I'd also like to retain Blu-ray writing capability, so I believe BW-16D1HT 3.10-MK is the correct firmware.
Question:
Could someone please provide the current recommended macOS sdftool/makemkvcon flash command for this exact drive and firmware?
Thank you!
