For all of you that sometimes miss Slashdot (well, I do somethimes, sorry ;-)
http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/17/2249226&mode=nested&tid=137&tid=180 referencing http://superdrive.cynikal.net/ Here, you can find a hack from Cynical for the DVD-Superdrive shipping with the Powerbooks. This allows to use all the capabilities fo the drive but DVD-RAM, at the maximum speed. BTW, anyone knows any flash updater for Linux? Or knows how to make one? Because, I emailed cynical and the guy answer me extremely fast with a nice solution (BootXCD, a nice free soft that makes a bootable image of your MacOSX, so if the image works, you can keep it in a CD/DVD and boot from it to update firmwares released by Apple while keeping you laptop linux-only! :-), but I would still love to have a "reboot-free" laptop ;-) Any ideas? -- J.
