IIRC, their loader either doesn't let you load the wrong firmware, or will tell you which drives the firmware is for. I always just do a 'strings' on the firmware binary first. You'll see the byte-swapped model numbers that the firmware is intended for. For instance, this is from the Atlas II DAGNLYK8.FUP firmware file (which is intended for the 4G Atlas II drives): PX4355S0 ==> XP34550S UFCPtsnIof ==> FUPCstInfo FE>+ PX4355W0 ==>XP34550W PX4355W0 D ==>XP34550WD PX4355J0 ==>XP34550J Easy enough.
