On the Internet there is currently a Firmware version floating around that ought to change the usual 8x DVD burner ND-2500A to an ND-2510A that is able to write double layer media. According to NEC this Firmware does not work on the ND-2500A because some adjustments have to be made during the manufacturing process that cannot be applied later.
Because of this it will be impossible to let the ND-2500A write DVD+R DL only by upgrading the Firmware. Even if this will succeed in single cases, the danger of getting coasters is very high and the DL-recordables will have error ammounts beyond the specification.
NEC also points out that applying unofficial firmwares to their burners will void warranty.
