Hi i just got my 105 today :) well chuffed been waiting ages to get one. It is firmware version 1.21.

using datawrite classic yellows myself at the mo with my 105
and 1.21 firmware
only 1X but not to bothered about time myself gone through about
50 of them and not a coaster yet

using dvd decrypter
dvd2one and prassi primo 2.0
also using nero for 1:1 copying

before that used fws 4X used 25 of them no probs but a bit expensive
at £1.60 a disc

paying 75p for my datawrites that will do me nicely

cheers fatboyslim

I use bigpockets ,SVP and WCW for my media ,whoever has the stock at the right prices ,as long as they don't use interlink express I'm sorted. Princo or ritek 4X,datasafe or verbs 2X and 1x I don't

heard bad things about bigpockets lately!

i been using yellow tops from svp with no probs on my new a05.

btw update your firmware to the latest version

Traxdata and Ritek (both use the same dye on the bottom of the disc) are both recommended by a good number of UK users.

I have also heard about probs with bigpockets so I would go with SVP. Ritek 3rd Gen and OptoDisc get my vote. I wouldn't touch the firmware until you find out if you've got probs - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;)

Try using the A05 media thread.
