Try this link for RPC1 Firmware for your drive:
ftp://ftp.gw2k.co.uk/patches/2500firmware/dvd079g.exe

By sending you this link, I am in no way responsible if your drive does not respond correctly after flashing with this tool and firmware. In otherwords, flash your drive at your own risk.

If you want to see the source URL for this and other Matshita DVD firmware, it is http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?c ... ufactor=18

Yeah, I just tried it too. It must be old. Try the second link and then search the site for your driver from their. Search the forum too. If nothing there, try www.cdfreaks.com and www.dvdrhelp.com If nothing at either of these sites, then you may be stuck.
