I just ran over to Microcenter and bought a LiteOn IHAS 124-04 for $18.
I'll keep my fingers crossed and if it turns out not to be the right drive then I guess LiteOn gets some cash on me. I expect the occasional loss in the cat n mouse game.

C4E, your talent obviously knows no bounds.
I love that despite constant negative speculation and criticism you prevail each and every time with incredible speed, efficiency, and success. Thank you for your tireless devotion.

It's simple really, just leave it closed for the next few days and if it turns out to be the wrong model then you can just return it.

I wouldn't even have to do that....it was a white box item and just came in a plastic bag.
But I like owning mistakes like that when they happen....makes me pay the price for being impatient.

I don't get all this time, money and effort people go to just to run a "safe" backup

. When legitimate 100% Live safe retail copies of most games can be bought (and resold) for £10 or less. I no longer understand the logic.

I was always under the impression that blank cds/dvds used a die recording method, not premade tracks. The photo and info on page 5 came from a pressed disk, not a recorded one which is why the prelaid tracks are visable. My assumption is that he made a tweak to the distance between "tracks" the laser burns into the die, thus giving you the added space needed. This is probably also the reason you need verbs to do it. Closer "tracks" means less room for error in the die. Thoughts?

Probably the same reason people call .there downloaded games and insist they never play pirated games .
Backups is a redundant argument with hdd installs .

I would like to know where you are getting games for 10 pound a time they sure as hell aint legit for that price
If they are there out of the bargain bin.I pay 40 gbp for most of my games which is frankly a joke .
At that price is it any wonder people are downloading them .pay 40 pound for game finish game never play game again rinse and repeat .

Anyways this is good new I hope it a cheap lo burner that does them.even better would be my toshiba blu ray drive ..

Oh the you need verbatim bullshit again eh .probably need them for the xgd3 but you sure as hell do not
For the none xgd3 .the disks are pressed when we buy them onto metal we burn them onto dye.
Joe average could not afford the machine and probably would not have the space,even a small press machine is not something one would want in the living room..

Great to hear, before this news was announced I ordered a new burner as my LG wasn't burning the XGD3 properly, it just so happens its a Lite-On iHAS324 Super AllWrite... Arriving today

Would be nice since the Asus DRW-24B1ST can be cross-flashed into one of those drives. I have also seen reports that the Asus can be crossed flashed into 4 or 5 different lite-on models but I have only done the cross flash into the iHAS324.

Cause pirates are not the brightest lot.

More so because sometimes we let our kids play our games and they're not always the "easiest" on things especially when it comes to optical media that can get fingerprints and scratches on em just by looking at em wrong. THATS why! - I further dont see the point in commenting on a topic you disagree with on a site that is an information store for this particular topic.

100% agree with you there... My 5yr old has managed to scratch so many of my originals its not funny... I'd much rather have him scratch a backup that I can reburn than the costly originals...

Can anyone direct me to where to go to see how to actually flash a drive to new firmware?

How much and how was the drive labeled? I'm closer to the Duluth MC so I will probably try there tomorrow.
I know they have alot of those salvaged drives in the clear cases. Was it one of those?

Model: iHAS124-04B
Mfg Date July 2011

$18.99

Cool, I realized I had one of these ihas324-98 drives that I was going to put in a system build for someone, but put a Plextor in instead.

I can confirm it's a B chipset model.

If the picture is clear enough, if you have the Scanner app on your iphone, you might be able to scan the barcode.
