Spindownfix utility
I think the utility your thinking of is called Spindownfix. This problem is documented on xlr8yourmac.com within the drive database archive. I too have the same problem. I have a Memorex 52MAXX 3252AJ. My solution has been not to leave a CD in the drive long enough to let the drive sleep. This seems to be a problem with OSX and third party CD drives not Toast. The never put your Mac to sleep option doesn't seem to be the best solution because I leave my Mac on 24/7 as I'm sure most of you do too. Hopefully Apple has a fix for this in the near future.

Firmware update
I searched the Pioneer support web site and couldn't find any firmware updates for my drive (Pioneer DVR-A06U). Probably aren't any yet as this drive is still pretty new I think...

Did you look here.

Guess I didn't search hard enough...
Firmware update
The updater won't work in Virtual PC without some extra hardware. VPC doesn't have direct hardware access to an ATA drive such as your Pioneer drive (I have the same one.) But for some reason VPC does have direct hardware access to the drive if its connected through USB. This means that if you have an external USB case and you install your Pioneer drive in it you should be able to run the firmware updater in VPC. |
