Firmware 1.01 for Plextor's 40X writer, the PX-W4012A is actually released, but so far only on the Japanese page. But we guess the American page and European page will be updated soon.
Since we can't translate the release information from Japanese to English, there is no log yet. But to our understanding this is what's added:
That's all we have got for now, a more accurate release log will be posted as soon as possible.
Grab it here.
