NEC ND-1100A electrically identical to the ND-1300A

May 16, 2003

There
have already been speculations about the ND-1100A
DVD+R/RW writer could be capable of burning DVD-R/RW too. Now a letter
from NEC America to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) confirms that the
new ND-1300A (DVD±R/RW writer) is "electrically identical" to the
ND-1100A:

Submitted
herewith, on behalf of NEC
SOLUTIONS (AMERICA), INC. is an application for certification of
the following Internal
DVD CD-R/RW Drive:

FCC
ID: A3DND-1300A

MODEL:
ND-1300A

TRADE
NAMES: NEC

EUT
TYPE: Internal DVD
CD-R/RW Drive

The
device is electrically identical to FCC ID: A3DND-1100A granted
Sept.
26, 2002,
except for the model, firmware, and FCC ID. The original test report
continues to be representative of and applicable to the equipment bearing
the changed ID.

Attached
are the applicant's authorization letter, FCC ID label and location, &
external
photographs.

This
could make it possible to flash/hack your ND-1100A DVD+R/RW writer (or any DVD
writer based on this like HP dvd300i or Plextor PX-504A) into a ND-1300A
DVD±R/RW writer. Thanks
goes to W_M0ZART @The
firmware page for finding the
information.
