[Ti] PAL on TiBook?

[James Herndon]

Read,

Trevor's memory was accurate. In 2004 a member of this group provided  
a web address (http://superdrive.cynikal.net/) from which the user  
could download patches able to update the firmware in UJ-815 and  
UJ-816 superdrives released before April 2004. The instructions were  
somewhat elaborate but the superdrives were rendered region-free. PAL  
format was not specifically mentioned, but apparently those disks  
played also.

My Ti-500 was stolen in 2003, so I am working from memory: it was a US- 
origin (MacMall) Ti-book, I was living in Geneva at the time, and it  
used to play DVD / VCD from every region of the world.
I had to 'upgrade' the firmware to make it region-free.
