Neat hack for anyone interested. Found this one on DVDRHELP. I just ordered a new Dell that has a NEC dvd burner sold as just an + r/ +/rw burner by flashing the firmware @ The Dangerous Brothers Present.... opened the ability to burn -/r -/rw discs. Pretty cool it apppears NEC put out the same hardware with different firmware flashes so they could charge different price points. If you happen to have the ND2100A or ND2100A give it a shot/ I also saw one for the ND1100A.
