Until this time I was only able to burn at 12X max, with a FireWire burst rate of 21MB/s.
I just updated my motherboard bios from A05 to A08, checked my burst rates & saw I was now getting 23MB/s to 24MB/s over FireWire. This is equal to my internal IDE BenQ burst rate. So gave it a go..........

Congrats Dishinit!

You seem to have found the Holy Grail for the 1620-1621 and external case issue. I'll have to be satisfied with my StoreTec case with the unflashable Prolific chip and a max 12x burn with my 1620. Must resist buying another external case!!...
