This firmware improves the drive's CD ROM, CDR,& CDRW media readability performance. However there is some requirements to fulfill in order to install the update: you will need to use a floppy disk and the driver update program works under DOS only, and not DOS box under Windows. The driver installer will use a floppy image to write to an empty floppy diskette.
