   I have heard rumors that it is possible to format a HD 3 1/2 disk @
1.6 with a Super Drive card with out an AE drive.  Yes I know, there
wouldn't be much use for this since the disk wouldn't be able to used
in anything execpt for that computer.  

    But still is it possible?  I thought only the AE HD+ drives could
do this.  Can the Apple drives do this with some special driver and the
SuperDrive card?

     Thanks
