No answer?

Is the error not obvious enough?

Selected drive (null) does not appear to be a matshita device

But it is a matshita device! In System Profiler as 'MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868'.

Is there a reason why you are trying up date the drive's firmware?

That's the reason.

That's the reason.

I fail to see why. Could you try explaining it.

It's to make the drive region free.
