I've had no luck trying to find an online 'how-to' for updating the firmware
of a FW drive with Oxford chipset. Can someone please point me in the right
direction?

I've downloaded what is supposedly the updater from the above page but, when
unstuffed, the folder contains only a 'Data' folder and no software. I've
done this three times always with the same result. Also, the page says the
updaters are only for OWC-branded drives but I was willing to give it a
shot, but can't.

I did find firmware updaters for various Oxford chipsets here:

http://fwdepot.com/firewiredepot/firmware/firmware.html

How do I find out if my drive has 900, 901, 901+, 912 or 922 chipset? System
Profiler and Disk Utility make no mention of ship version.
