I am in no way associated with LiteOn, and this patched firmware is in no way
associated with or supported by LiteOn.  Loading this patched firmware will
technically void your warranty.  I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that may
result from the use or misuse of this patched firmware.  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

###
# Changes between this and the official firmware:
#
1) +RW/-RW discs will be read at 12x/14x/16x CAV (originally 8x CAV)
2) +R/-R discs will be read at 12x/14x/16x CAV (originally 8x CAV)
3) +R DL (recordable double-layer) discs will be read at 8x (originally 4x) (?)

###
# Installation:
#
Simply run the flasher to load the firmware onto your SOHC-5235K.

###
# Notes:
#
1) There are THREE versions of this patched firmware!  One to increase the
   reading speed of burnt media to 12x, one to increase it to 14x, and one to
   increase it to the full 16x.  Use the one what works best for you, your
   drive, and your media.  Note that with faster reading speeds, it's possible
   that your drive will encounter reading problems towards the end of the disc,
   which is why it may not always be desirable to read at the full 16x.
