Does anyone know how to check the drive firmware version?
sudo dmidecode
should do. No guarantee though, I have not DVD on this laptop but Bios and firmware version show up well.
I very much doubt if dmidecode will be able to read out any soft-/firmware versions from the DVD drive. Maybe some ATAPI command.
lsscsi | grep dvd
Yes, lsscsi might just produce something useable, in the "revision" perhaps. Here is some output from a couple of my machines: [1:0:0:0] cd/dvd TEAC DW-224E-R C.AC /dev/sr0 [4:0:0:0] cd/dvd YAMAHA CRW2100E 1.0H /dev/sr0 [4:0:1:0] cd/dvd TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1712 1004 /dev/sr1 [1:0:0:0] cd/dvd TSSTcorp CD-ROM TS-H192C IB00 /dev/sr0 [0:0:0:0] cd/dvd TSSTcorp CD-ROM TS-L162C N204 /dev/sr0 [0:0:0:0] cd/dvd COMPAQ CD-ROM SN-124 N104 /dev/sr0 [0:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4482B 1.05 /dev/sr0 [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224BB SB00 /dev/sr0 The last block of four chars (before the device name), is the "revision", I guess it might be a firmware version number. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
