Hi All
Just received my new Lenovo notebook with Optiarc AD-7700H

I was wondering what is the specification of this DVD RW
and if its any different than AD-7700S that has RPC1 firmware available at Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares website

Thanks!

Maybe you can use the latest Binflash version to create an identification file for this drive, so I can add support for it in Binflash and maybe release patched firmwares in the future.

That was the expected behaviour. I didn't have enough data for this drive before, so I couldn't add support for it in Binflash. I'll send you a PM with a link to a Binflash testversion that will generate a dump file for me. But you cannot use the generated file to flash your drive.

Got it and sent back the dump
