A couple people have played with the new and old FW versions on the same drive and find little, if any difference. So sticking with the new FW won't hurt you any. They appear to contain the same data.

I've just bought a Sony CRX230A a few days ago and wasn't satisfied with it's firmware.Many cdrs such as the Maxell which was rated 48x could only be detected at 40X.So I flashed it to a LiteON LTR-52327Ss(R52QS0C) using Flashfix to modify the firmware in order to make it work.The flasing process turned out successful but I've got a question,what colour should the LED be when the drive is in the writing session?Mine 's orange in colour and green when reading.Is this ok?

My Lite-On is red when burning, orange when the buffer underrun was triggered, and green when reading.

Hmm that means the Sony rebadged LiteONs are slightly different compared to the TDK and Imation.Although all of them are based on the LiteON LTR-52327Ss the Sony CRX230A slightly differs in the LED indicator colors.When it's burning cdrs,it's orange/yellow in color and when it's reading it's green.Only 2 colors available whereas the TDK Cyclone 52X/32X/52X is more similar to the LiteON LTR-52327Ss where the color indicators are the same(3 colors green-read,orange-buffer underrun red-writing).
