exactly what i understood from Ken and from what I've read... read smtg about hand-patching the apple driver with an editor, too... anyone can confirm that? isn't that a bit simple?
maybe anyone has used a Hp cd-writer on a Mac? Ihaven't tried any patches or extensions yet, as i want to read through (there are lots of things i don't know about macs), so i don't ask a silly question here again when i try smtg and it doesn't work right away :) anyway: will it work normally with the extensions installed? can i even burn Cd's?
