New BenQ 1640 DVD burner firmware: BSMB

November 3, 2005

Looks like I have missed an important posting in the BenQ Forum, intended for all of us lucky DW1640 DVD±RW double layer burner owners. Forum Moderator, raconteur and man about town C0deKing, related news from yet another prestigious member zebadee, that QSuite has been updated to version 2.1. and a new firmware has also been released.

Before flashing, make sure to drop by the thread to look at many different media scans with the BSMB firmware and read the very busy discussion there.

Note: This firmware turns off OverSpeed and cleans all learned media. You may visit this link to download the newer version for your 1640.
