this is the 2 readme files of the firmware:
(cw058d important information.txt)
Important:
1. If you cannot finish the update under your Windows OS and you get an error message, then you must update the firmware under real MS-Dos.
Therefore you need Boot-Disc, which you can create under Dos or Windows. Please read the chapter of "Create a Boot-Floppy-Disc" in your Microsoft Operating system manual or contact Microsoft directly.
2. If you have further problems after doing the update, please check the following points first:
A) Is DMA activated for our drive? (device manager/CD-ROM/CW058D/settings)
DMA must be activated. Further details on this subject are described in the manual of your mainboard.
B) Does your OS show the drive's updated firmware version? The firmware version of your drive is shown in Nero or in device manager/CD-ROM/CW088D/settings in the upper right corner.
In addition to Nero 5.5, Clone CD (from version 3.2.2.1 on) can be installed. These programs are compatible to each other.
3. Updates and technical support for non-Cyber Drive products can be obtained under
