Is it really true that the Apple superdrive won't WRITE MS-DOS
floppies -- it can only read them? Is this restriction in hardware?
If so, then I guess all these claims of "an open MAC architecture"
were merely lip-service, because Apple intends to keep a closed
architecture for as long as possible. The evil empire strikes again!
