Is my SuperDrive single or double layer??

[ckeck]

I bought my Powerbook back in mid August right before they made the final updates to the PPC line.

I upgraded to the SuperDrive, but I'm not sure if its single or double layer, and don't know where to look to find out...anyone know??

Thanks!

If you got it before the 'high res' models, then it's single layer. But if you want to be sure, open System Profiler (in Utilities, or ? -> 'About This Mac' -> 'More Info...') then click on the 'Disc Burning' heading. If, under' DVD-Write', it says "+R DL" at the end, then you have a dual-layer drive. If it doesn't, then you don't.

For example, on my external DL drive I use on my PowerBook, it reads "-R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL". On my eMac with upgraded internal drive, it reads "-R, -RAM -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL" (a.k.a. "Super Multi", it also does -R DL, but Apple doesn't seem to know about that yet, even though Toast does.)

It's singlelayer.
