I have a LiteOn LTR-24103S CD drive in a 486, but the drive occasionally crashes. For example, it froze down when I ejected CD. The computer crashed as well, but after reset it started normally except the drive was not found. Powering it down solved the problem, so I suspect that drive's firmware had crashed.

Currently it has firmware XB03, and it appears that there are newer versions. However, this site I found doesn't have the firmware itself, just a link that doesn't work anymore. Any idea where to find firmwares for old LiteOn drives?

did it fix the issue?

It happened only occasionally, so it's too early to say. But it hasn't reoccurred yet.
