NAME
       rpl8 - Firmware loader for DVD drives

SYNOPSIS
       rpl8 /dev/cdrom [-[dump-only]|firmwarefile]

DESCRIPTION
       rpl8  is	 a  program for Linux 2.4 and upwards that uploads firmware to
       DVD drives (mostly DVD+RW).

       rpl8 stands for RICOH Program Loader 8, though it also supports Program
       Loader 9.

       The program never updates Program Loader code so that you should always
       be able to downgrade your firmware in case something goes wrong.

       So far rpl8 has been tested with the following:
       * HP dvd100i
       * Ricoh MP5120A
       * Philips DVDRW208
       * HP dvd200i

       To run rpl8 correctly, make sure you have no media in  drive.   Optionā€
       ally  go	 to  single  user  mode	 and  reboot  after  uploading the new
       firmware.

OPTIONS
       -[dump-only]
	      Only backs up the firmware.  Note that you might have to	reboot
	      even after this.

BUGS
       Getting messages like this is "normal"

	      ide-scsi:	 Strange,  packet  command  initiated  yet  DRQ	 isn't
	      asserted
