Actually some drives do allow you to do bitsetting permanently, not that it matters a great deal. I do it just because you never know...
Right, of course. Back in the day I think this was the only way to get bitsetting to work. But who wants to deal with custom firmwares? And the market is much more fragmented than it was, so IMHO they are more difficult to find unless you get a popular drive
