Firmware for BW-16D1HT

Hi, all.  Hoping someone can give me a pointer.

I have a new BW-16D1HT to replace an older one that failed.  The old drive worked great (with the odd exception or two) with DiscImageCreator.  However, my new drive errors every time.  Per the wiki, it looks like I need either firmware 3.02 (DE) or a patched version of 3.10.

I've already downgraded the drive to 3.10 for ripping with MakeMKV and that works great.  But I'm struggling to find a DIC-compatible firmware.  All of the firmware packs for MakeMKV appear to have been updated to versions 3.03 or 3.10, and I'm unable to find the 3.02 firmware.  As for 3.10, I see that RibShark created it, but can't find a download link for that either.

The closest I've been able to find is an ASUS 3.02 flasher for Windows, but that doesn't help since I'm on Linux.  I need just the firmware bin file.

Can anyone point me to a compatible firmware file?  or maybe tell me what to search for?  My google-fu is failing me.

Thanks.
