Hello Coopervid,

I thought I will try my luck with the local staples that had some Verbatim 43890.
I thought perhaps they might have some old stock.
I was right, I just picked one up and it's showing as Pioneer UD03

It would be great if you can help me also as you have helped so many with flashing this drive.
I will be checking for a PM.

Thanks,

very much
