Firmware upgrade in firewire enclosure? - Club CDFreaks

nufan292 · 07-01-2004

I have just recently purchased a 411S and it is currently residing in a firewire enclosure. I am wanting to upgrade the firmware to FSOF and I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade using the official liteon utility when the drive is in the enclosure. I have no where else to upgrade it, since it is connected to my laptop, so is it possible? Thank you for your time.

Uh, did you try it yet ? Since it is a Windows based .exe, I would imagine it would if it will allow you to select the proper writer. But since all configurations are different, only you hold the answer to your question. But I am thinking about doing the same. Could you post back with the results ?

Thanks,

Tom

I have a 451s in an external USB/Firewire case. It upgraded from GSB4 to GSB6 thru the USB port. It should work with the 411.

Good luck

Well if anyone was/is interested, I tried it, and it turned out OK. Now it seems a new one is out, but might wait a week or two, and see how it works out.
