[QUOTE="TTheInfamous1, post: 114079, member: 10016"] LOL, I laughed when I saw it. As far as I know you can not extract the firmware that's already there. Its also not published by Apple so you cant get it back. And you can't get your optical drive back to the way it was. On that note... Everything works fine. I didn't even need patchburn because I am using Tiger 10.4.1 and its supported. Importing/Ripping to iTunes was great. Im now Ripping at 22.3 to 23.2x. Big improvement! Burning with Toast was fast as well. I now have more write speed options in my drop down menu. I haven't tried burning in iTunes because for some reason I could never do it correctly. It would burn but not play on any devices but my Mac. Anyway, not the case. These step by step dorections were easy to follow.
