how to update firmware on nec-nd-3500a (9 DISK TOWER)

I have a 9 dvd-r duplicator with a 60gig storage disk and 9 nd-3500a NEC drive..does anyone know how to flash the drives? This machine is a stand alone..no operating system

 

Urm, I don't rly know, but could you "hook it up" - so to speak - to an OS and flash the drives?

 

No it's a stand alone unit no usb port or anything..do u think if i connect one at the time on a regular computer an flash them that way? Will it work?

 

Yeah that would work. Slightly tedious but it would work.

Here is the latest firmware for your drive(s) BTW.

It's 2.58

Thanks for the drivers...i did 1 by 1 by 1....geeee..well it works
Thanks guys

 

No problems

 

FWIW, someone posed the same question here a month or two ago and we came to the same conclusion about flashing drives one-at-a-time.

 

Oh right; that's nice. I must have missed that thread, about a month ago.
