Hi

In short yes.

*crossg* · 09-02-2006

Yes you can change the booktype (by using Qsuite or other options) without flashing firmware if you are talking about a true BenQ 1655 , As for rebadged 1655 drives I am not sure!

Qsuite, is this a program that comes with the benq drive or something you have to download and what do you mean by rebadged, thanks.

Yes Qsuite is a program that comes with the drive and/or can be downloaded from BenQ's website. Rebadged is a BenQ drive sold under another brand name. Example: I/O Magic sell the BenQ 1655 under their name. Just have a look in the BenQ forum and you will find everything you need to know.

Hi

Use links in my sig to download the QSuite manual & have a read. You can also download QSuite 2.1, however you need BenQ drives to actually do anything.

Yes, you can use QSuite with rebadged BenQ drives, but you have to flash to the BenQ firmware.

For rebadged drives you have to CROSSFLASH to the BENQ FIRMWARE in order to use QSUITE.

Amazing drive. I currently burn 2x 4x and 8x +r media at 16x on this 1655 and they all score in the 90's in cd-speed. No hacking needed. I just unlocked it in qsuite. If it starts to cause a prob I'll just turn it off. I'm even burning 8x +R AML media made in china and it works great at 16x. Also for a few bucks less I'm very impressed with my new nec 3550. Nearly as good, similar burn quality to the 1655 but not the qsuite tools.

It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. The truth can be found here http://jhtalisman.blogspot.com/ The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body."
