Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - writer won't burn 8x emtec discs at higher speed than 2,4x

I've recently bought some emtec 8x +R discs
but my NEC 3500A writer (with now hacked 2.18 firmware by Liggy) will only burn them at 2,4x (the lowest speed)

I've gotten this info from disc identifier:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unique Disc Identifier : [DVD+R:MJC-003-000]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disc & Book Type : [DVD+R] - [Not Available]
Manufacturer Name : [MJC Pte. Ltd. Singapore ]
Manufacturer ID : [MJC]
Media Type ID : [003]
Product Revision : [Not Specified]
Blank Disc Capacity : [2,295,104 Sectors = 4,482.6MB = 4.38GB (4.70GB)]
Recording Speeds : [1x , 2.4x , 4x , 6x-8x]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ DVD Identifier - http://DVD.Identifier.CDfreaks.com ]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the media code seems to be very rare :/

anyone know of a (safe) way to burn these discs at a higher speed?
or a (safe

) firmware that will work for these discs?
