    I have an Acer E380 computer with a "HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H21N" optical drive. I'd like to update the firmware from 1.00, but all I can find is firmware for a Dell OEM. When I try to use that, it says, "mismatched", so obviously it won't work with an Acer. Does anyone know where to get firmware for this Acer OEM drive?

    Thanks,
    John

    Unfortunately, that is for the Dell OEM and will not work with the Acer OEM for some reason. I've searched Google and can't find any that work with this drive. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    John
