    To make it easier for people who tune into the forum for firmware and tool updates, I think it would be a good idea for people to make a post in this thread to announce new firmwares and new tools.

    That way, people can just subscribe to this thread and be notified whenever a new Plextor firmware or tools comes out.

    The ultimate post would contain:
    1. Drive model
    2. Firmware version
    3. Download link to the new firmware
    4. Changelog (Release date and reason)
    5. Link to a discussion thread if one already exists

    To receive notification of any announcements, subscribe to this thread by clicking this link.

    This thread should be for announcements only. Do not discuss new firmwares in this thread. Posts are subject to deletion without notice if they do not follow this guideline. Ideally, each announcement should have a download link, and, if there is one, a link to that firmware's discussion and results thread.

    Good idea C0deKing.
    To save some mouse clicks, perhaps it's a better practice to post:

    1. Drive
    2. Firmware
    3. Changelog (Release date and reason)
    4. Link to discussion thread if it's already created.

    No argument from me if the person posting has the time but if they don't, I know I'm happy to do the clicking once I know there is a new firmware released. Also the change log information can be in the discussion thread, as sometimes this information can be released later (with some manufacturers anyway).

    But I certainly agree that this would be the ultimate announcement.

    Plextools Professional - End of Life

    Plextor USA has put the following notice on their download-page:

    "Attention PlexTools Professional users

    PlexTools Professional 2.xx will no longer be supported with upgrades. Version 2.36, shipped with the PX-755UF only, is the last supported version. Users wishing to update PlexTools Professional v2.xx for use with Windows Vista are requested to download the free PlexTools Professional LE software."

    Annoyingly, the linked home of Plextools (www.plextools.com) still carries the old version 2.35 of PTP, while 2.36 has been available since last November already, but only directly from Plextor Japan (english program, japanese Help-files) as announced here http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.ph...2&postcount=15

    AS-Striker

    This is a new AutoStrategy management tool from Plextor that works with the 760 series only. In addition to all the functions that Plextools has, it apparently will let you save AS settings to your hard drive. I think we'll all have to play around with it a bit.

    I was surprised to see Firmware Upgrades for "Non-Windows systems" on plextor.com for 716/755/760 models. They still can't get the word Linux over their lips (I know it's for others too ).
