Sweet!!! :D

And it will be released as a DVD+R/RW drive only, but should have a firmware upgrade to make it dual format later. Hopefully this will keep the price down ;)

I don't think it will be flashable to a Dual Format Drive. Wouldn't that be something that has to be built in the drive, being able to write to both formats.

According to some early, unconfirmed reports, the two drives use the same chipset and drive design.

Intresting. Then why are they even offering a + drive, just go straight to the dual format.

Why not? I'm sure their DVD+R/RW will be cheaper than the dual format. Less licensing costs.

I recall a comment from Karr Wang (KProbe author) that they were having problems with the - implementation.

Indeed, read through the thread I linked at cdfreaks above. They haven't gotten - working yet. I'm not complaining since that means we don't have to pay for a dual format.

Looks to be for sale here for the same price as an ND-1100A?

And it looks like liteon.ab.pl (Polish Lite-ON distributor) has a nice page for the drive along with a picture!
