It's a 20A4P.

BenQ DW2000 6BXX = 20A1P.
BenQ DW2000 9BXX = 20A4P

I've seen people crossflashed their DW2000/2050 9BXX to DW2000 6BXX firmware and the drive couldn't burn anything, flashing back to 9BXX firmware solve the problem. However, 20A1P crossflashed to 20A4P doesn't have this problem.

So far from what I've seen, 9P57 EOS EOHT II firmware is working nice with this drive

Good to know that I have 20A4P now , maybe this can survive more than 2 months per driv for 20A1P .

I will try both 9B3E and 9P57/CK's 9P57
