Thanks. Private message sent to Billy.

Does the announcement, that all Poineer drives are now LibreDrive supported mean that even post Nov-2022 firmware drives can now be crossflashed? viewtopic.php?t=37848
Looking to buy a recent model of these for 4K discs.

Thanks in advance

I can help you if you want but be aware it is experimental and has some downside that will be fixed later in the email I will tell you the downsides see email below

thank you Billy, email sent.

I *thought* I had gotten lucky and randomly found this drive brand new at an overstock warehouse type of place, but alas the firmware is 1.02.

However, it sounds like some effort and progress is being made to get these drives with this problematic firmware able to read/rip UHD discs? I can wait to do it, but am just wondering if I should hold onto this drive or go ahead and return it while I can since I am trying to stockpile a few drives for this specific purpose. It seems I fell asleep at the wheel the last couple of months and missed the news about all PC optical drives no longer being manufactured. I knew it was coming, but was hoping it wasn't going to happen as soon as it did

Thank you for any direction on this.
