He does not need to. Nobody told him to do. Besides I doubt that only the patched versions are actually "f*cked up". My personal experience with cdrecord is that neither version works well on my system. I tried several including "gods' own". Needless to mention it didn't work either. Needless to mention he told me to upgrade the firmware, needless to mention that did not help, but got worse instead (not even dvd worked afterwards). End of the story was that I gave away the old device (which works in a w*ndows system flawlessly ever since for both CD and DVD), and bought a new one which works well with DVD again (growisofs) but still not with cdrecord. My personal opinion is that both product and author get more attention than they deserve. Regards, Stephan
