I can supply you with the link but WARN you at the same time.
As any flashing of your ROM Chip that goes wrong will mean your drive is fooked.

Well the 510 as far as I can remember was meant to have a faster burning speed. So upgrading the Firmware was meant to increase your drives burning speed. But I would suggest againt doing this as its not always worked out for the best.

LOL. Exactly mate. Good luck with the purchase. Most DVD writers are reasonably priced now days anyways. Untill when Blue Ray is out which is quite some time then you wont be losing any money.
