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?
