Hi all,
is there any chance to "unlock" drive so we can write to DVD-RAM media.
I've read that ram option is only disabled.
Thanks for any further info,
Regards
Misko

I know that 898 drive is capable of dvd-ram writing but ( as I've also read somewhere), that function is disabled by Apple.
So, I'm I doing something wrong ?
How can i enable dvd-ram writing?
I have a macbook pro 13", mid 2010, 10.6.6.
Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm using Panasonic 3x DVD-RAM.
But the problem is that system profiler info for my drive doesn't recognizes possibility of dvd-ram writing.
Regards

Was it ever determined whether or not the UJ-898 HE13 could be re-flashed to use DVD-RAM discs? I've just picked up a box of 4 double-sided (9.4GB!!!) 3x Panasonic DVD-RAM discs for $6, and they aren't recognised by the drive.
If it can, are there any drawbacks or collateral benefits?

Well, here's the media I'm using:
Brand: Panasonic
Product Code: LM-HB94LE
Type: 4 - Disc Removable
Capacity: 9.4GB - Double-Sided
Version: 2.1/Revision 1.0
Speed: 3x
But even if it is determined that the drive is capable of reading and writing this type of DVD-RAM, is patching it to do so trivial? And, could it still be patched for RPC1?
