I recentlu bought a DVD-Witer (again !) : a Philips 1640P. I tried to flash it to P3.6. but the writer is connected by an add-in controller : a Qtec IDE133 controller connected to PCI slot. The Philips updater fails to see the drive :Z , but the Benqcvt.exe does see the drive.
BTW I have now firware P3.5 in the drive and it rocks !! Very good quality burns and OK burning times

So i'm looking for the CVT file for version P3.6 to be able to flash te drive using the exelent Benqcvt.exe tool.

Thanks

Haven't seen one around thats not to say their isnt one but I think it would be faster to hook the drive up to the intergrated IDE controller and flash P3.6 and put it back on the PCI IDE controller then waiting for a cvt of 3.6 to appear if their isnt one out there.
