Cheers for clearing this up for me Very Happy. Does anybody know if I could still use this drive to inject my own key into to play originals?

As far as I can tell they are prototype/dev unit drives and will not work in a retail unit. you cannot transfer your key to the drive. And even if you did the firmware would not read retail games anyways. The article forahobby linked to I believe was debunked as untrue and that the philips drives were actually like I said debug/prototype drives.
