Model 4816A in Cendyne 48 x 12 x 48 Box what is it?

by **Entropy** on Sat Apr 26, 2003 8:51 am

Did some sleuthing on the net and came up with two possibilities. First, is that is the model number of an Asus drive 4816a which is actually rated at 48 x 16 x 48. Second, is that it is a Benq drive and the model number is a variation on their 4816P. The A replaces the P indicating it was manufactured in Australia. Both explanations are plausible.

If it is an Asus drive I will be keeping it and if it is a Benq it goes back. I would rather not go through the trouble of opening and installing it. Hoping somene has done that already and can enlighten me. So is it a Benq or an Asus? Thanks.

if you buy a cendyne and the model number on the back of the box starts with LTR then its a lite-on drive inside

the asus models here in CO have the model number 5224 something like that, just numbers corresponding to the cd drive speeds

Just trying to determine if it is a Benq or Asus....

I had a friend purchase several of the Cendyne drive the 48x and 52x series. What he discovered was that when it says. 4816a or 5224a on the box it as a ASUS model. When he picked one up that said 4816p it was a Benq model.

Also he discovered that the 5224 w/o (a) was a Aopen drive. So it so far appears to be the (a)= Asus, p=Benq and no small letter = Aopen.

Also the LTR as previously mentioned is Liteon.

Hope this helps.

I too have this drive, have you had any luck with upgrading the firmware?
I tried the Asus one but it did not work

Welcome to CDRLabs, Tweakmeup!

You have a BenQ drive.. not an ASUS.

Even I got this 9E.K firmware.. although the box was saying 4824P, it came out as 48x16x48.

So, if it is a BenQ, then it is definitely going back !
