Non-Apple SuperDrive need Firmware Update?

I got a Pioneer A05 DVD burner. I presume it is essentially just the next generation SuperDrive, since the SuperDrive models are the A03 and A04 (I think).

Anyway, I tried to run the Apple SuperDrive firmware updater, but it said it was not compatible with my Mac (DP 867).

The A05 free DVD-R media has a sticker on it warning about possibly freezing certain drives, so I really don't want to risk that.

Does anyone know if I need to worry about freezes on the A05 and/or if I can force install the firmware update or if I should even bother?

Thanks!
 
That warning on the 4x media is really only for 1x/2x dvd burners that haven't been updated with the new firmware.

The A05 doesn't need the update....don't bother.
