Toshiba SD-M1712/B What's the difference?

Postby xman on Sat Sep 06, 2003 1:14 pm

Is there any difference between a Toshiba SD-M1712 and SD-M1712B? Do they share the same firmware? Does the SD-M1712B support the no speed limit hack firmware. The hack firmware only says its for SD-M1712, will it work for the SD-M1712B?

The SD-M1712B might be a RevB drive... Toshiba makes drives of different revisions...

how do you tell which revision you have?

DISCInfo, made by Hijacker, who also makes patched firmwares for Toshibas, will tell you the revision of your Toshiba desktop DVD-ROM drive.

There's only one revision of SD-M1712. The letter B at the end of the name is usually used for a drive with a BLACK bezel, sometimes for BULK (OEM) drive. OEMs are made in China, retail ones are made in Japan (at least mine is).

SD-M1712 reads DVD+R(W) with any available firmware, even original one.

i just found a short while ago the DiscInfo page and read there that it says (new versions anyway) which revision the drive is.
