- There have been firmware upgrades to these drives, which can be purchased
- directly from TEAC of America (213-726-0303). The last I knew they were
- up to Revision E.
- *However*, having gone through this process I have become very leery of
- these drives. We had 3, one of which still works. I have found them to
- be of questionable reliability and we don't rely on them any more.
