I read on some newsgroups that it was possible to flash the 9100 with the 9300 firmware using Sonys flashtool with HP's firmware.

I could not resist to try it out and after some nailbiting, booting win2k and testburning I can tell you it worked *great* !

All apps and windows see the drive as a 9300+.

So far I have burnt 5CD's at 10X, no problems at all.

Tested with Nero5, EZCD5 and CDR-Win.

If any of you want the files I'll send them to you, just mail me...
