HL-DT-ST BU40N-?

[smares]

Just a quick question regarding the firmwares for HL-DT-ST BU40N: What is the difference between the -FR, -N and -U version, I cannot find any of those suffixes on the label of my drive. I assume -B-Japan-Buffalo and -R-Taiwan are, as the name suggests, only valid for drives sold in Japan and Taiwan. Is -FR a special version for France? What about -N and -U? I bought my drive in Germany.

I'd like to participate.
I just bought the Archgon external drive with a BU40N inside.

Now, which MK-Firmware is korrekt?

By the way, I used the firmware from BU40N-N in my case as my drive came with v1.03 pre-installed and BU40N-N was the only folder with a 1.03 firmware at first sight.
