Since I got asked, where the firmware for the Amilo D 7830 can be found, I post it here to the archive, too. The DVD Writer is a Ricoh RW8160 DVD+RW The Fujitsu-Siemens download page: http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/DriverCD/Start_gb_AMILO.htm?uri=/DRIVERCD/_DriverSteuerung/GB/Amilo/Amilo_Dx830_755IA5_Auswahl.htm&menu=/DriverCD/_1st_Start/GB/MenuListe_AMILO.htm refers to version 1.07 of the firmware: http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/DriverCD/Files_gepackt/_Fixes_and_Patches/FW-Update_V1.07_DVD+RW_Ricoh_RW8160/FW-Update_V1.07_for_DVD+RW_Ricoh_RW8160.zip IIRC, I read on some message board, that there were still problems with this firmware. Maybe that's the reason, why I have version 1.08 installed here. Anyway, this firmware can be found on a Ricoh page: http://www.ricohpmmc.com/uk/support/download/Drivers_cd.asp Greetings, Mike
