Due to changes on the Plextor web sites, many firmware updates and utilities for the Sanyo chipset based drives have been moved from their previous locations. Legacy firmware and utilities can now be found here:

http://old.plextor.be/technicalservi...oice=Downloads

Legacy DVD burner firmware can also be found on the new Plextor Europe support page:
