firmware 5.63 (CTD8000-SSP or Con4326NP/A, Part-Number 710002-011) to
everyone. You may find this information useful if you are trying to get
support from Seagate for your audio-capable drive.

- Max from Germany tells me that in the past, he had bought a 4326 drive
with non-audio firmware, sent it to Seagate (I presume in Germany) and
they flashed it with audio firmware for him. He also tells me that
Seagate has been known to send out audio firmware upgrades to customers
with audio-capable drives. See more info from Max on the Background
page.
