Pore over the reports at <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com> for the best guide. There isn't, afaik, a definitive listing anywhere. I know for a fact that the LITE-ON LTR-40125W mechanism in mine, (48-12-48) is bootable. (because I've done so) I suspect, but do not know for certain, that the drive mechanisms compatible for CD burning are also bootable. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
