I found this page. The makers name "accesstek" and "dd0201."
Others have said this an optorite burner but their site seems down.
Which firmware should I update this to? The optorite or OEM?
It works decently now.
Not reading some jenk media that an old crappy 8x toshiba reads fine.

Do not think it is an Optorite as I have seen Pac dig & Optorite in a comparison test, could be a Lite-On or NEC, open it up and see who's drive is inside it, I have read people have used Lite-On firmware. I have read some do not like OEM,

This is from http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DVDnameid=179&Search=Search&list=0#comments
)(ellion: take out your drive or look at the box of your drive and find the serial number...
Taken from JoeFoster of FatWallet:
If the serial starts with an "I" and the model number on the box ends in "RV1" it is an Optorite.
If the serial starts with a "3" and the model number on the box ends in "RV2" it is an NEC.
If the serial starts with a "P" and the model number on the box ends in "RV3" it is an BTC.
The Optorite is the DD0201 and the NEC is the 1300A. Hopefully you have one of these two, because they are both very good drives. Anyway, start from here, find the REAL drive u have (not pacific digital, because they dont manufacture the drive), then find support on that specific drive, whether it be optorite, nec, or btc. hope this helps
the box serials and drive give all indications of an optorite.

Depending on the model, Pacific Digital drives were made by Ricoh, BTC and NEC.
