This appears to match what others have had success with, so I'm hopeful! I would like to note I'm on Linux and I'm very comfortable using `sdftool` if it's just a matter of flashing a particular file. I just haven't been able to find that information for this specific drive anywhere. I look forward to any guidance you can provide!
