Tdk released firmware 2.36 for their 8x Dual Layer Drive
http://www.tdk-europe.com/index.php?id=51

Who makes this drive, and why isn't it available in the US?

Different subsidiaries.. different markets.. who knows.

As far as what drive it is.. I'm fairly certain its a ND-2510A.

A NEC 2.16 firmware for TDK ?
Can someone compares differences between 2.16 and 2.36 (bitsetting, etc.)

I don't remember where I saw this, but apparently the second digit varies per OEM. The last digit is the firmware version.

Yes. 2.xn where x is the OEM, and n the firmware revision, someone got this info from NEC in the past fay days. This 2.36 seems to be the same as NEC 2510 f/w 2.16, same strategies are dumped from those firmwares (thanks to Liggy@cdfreaks). I don't believe there's +R/+RW bitsetting, but perhaps a forced DVD+R DL bitsetting as 2.06 ?
