Modifying the plugin file for combo drives
Authored by: kaylan on Oct 15, '02 04:25:05PM

This has been known for a while and www.xlr8yourmac.com has been accumulating the modified plugin files submitted by its readers for quite a while. You may want to check to see if the support file you are looking for is already there.

If you want to modify a plugin file beyond swapping just a single character or two, it gets pretty hairy. I have a Samsung combo CDRW/DVD drive, and wanted to modify the file for Samsung which had a regular entry for just a CDRW drive. The longer spelling of CDRW/DVD added one additional character to the identification for my 332B drive, and it was impossible to modify the file without making it useless. If anyone has tips regarding how to insert an additional character into the drive identifier without making it useless, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thx.
