What model book do you have...processor, etc.
The 845E has the factory capabilities to burn dual layer but apple disabled
them in the models the used in their PowerBooks.  The 846 was used in the
last powerbook models...the 1.67 Hi-Res and it does have full dual layer
capabilities.

This thread should be useful for info on this.

This site should be useful for any info you might need on firmware,
flashing, etc.  scroll down...look for your machine and see if there is any
firmware avail be for your model of drive.
