About The Firmware - Yamaha CRW2100FXZ Quick Start Manual

9.2. About the Firmware

The "firmware" is a small piece of software built into the CRW2100SXZ and CRW2100FXZ
drive, and is used to control its basic operation. Since it resides in flash memory, it can
be overwritten and updated.
To ensure the correct operation of your new drive, updates to the firmware will be made
available. You can find information about the most recent firmware for the drive on
YAMAHA CD-R/RW Drives web site.
