  • We DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY when something goes wrong during the upgrade.
  • The upgrade is intended for EXPERT USERS only who know what they are doing.
  • Only perform the upgrade when it is absolutely necessary, for example to use the CD-Writer with incompatible burning software programs.
  • Before performing the upgrade turn off and exit ALL CD-related programs which may interfere with the upgrade (especially packet-writing software like Adaptec DirectCD or Ahead InCD).

Ricoh MP7063A v1.80 Firmware
Ricoh MP7063A v1.70 Firmware
Ricoh MP7083A v1.20 Firmware
Ricoh RW7083A v1.20 Firmware
RMorph 2.0 [52 KB] - by Kyle Westmoreland 
It seems that there is no physical differences between the Ricoh 7063A (6x Write, 4x ReWrite & 32x Read) and Ricoh 7083A (8x Write, 8x ReWrite & 32x Read) drives. Only the firmware is different.

The upgrade works fine for both the MP & RW models and can also be used to upgrade a RW (OEM Model) to a MP (Retal Model)!
Upgrade Instructions
  • Downloaded the latest firmwares for both the Ricoh 7063A and Ricoh 7083A drives.

    • TempDir#1:  C:\TEMP\7063

  • Extract the Ricoh 7063A firmware to TempDir#1  (v1.80 Firmware Name: P00A180.BIN)
  • Extract the Ricoh 7083A firmware to TempDir#2  (v1.20 Firmware Name: P10A120.BIN)

  • From the Pull-Down menu select the P00A180.BIN firmware as Source File.
  • Select the Back Up current F/W to create a backup of the current firmware.
