@Scott – I would highly recommend installing the driver manually using the steps at http://crystalhd-for-osx.googlecode.com/ since it looks like the second command in step #3 might be in need of updating to get the latest driver (I don’t maintain that script). You could also try posting for help at http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?f=56 — all the authors hang out there.

This is a nice neat write-up and I was able to follow it, but in XBMC I do not see the new crystal HD option as in “4.) Launch XBMC and confirm the setup worked by navigating to System -> Video -> Playback and the second item down should say “allow hardware acceleration (crystalhd)”.” My XBMC version is 10.1 with the latest nightly, and the crystal driver is the latest download.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks for this, but as of 12/10, Apple appears to have taken steps to prevent those of us with torx drives of our own from owning anything bought from Apple. Specifically, they have changed the interface on the back of this superdrive so that it is HARD SOLDERED to the USB wires. They spent extra to make sure we can’t do it ourselves. I am SO pissed at Apple right now, I could shoplift…

Updated the 404′d link, thanks everyone who pointed that out. It now uses the official source rather than my branched version.

Hey Jacob,

Part of your webserver seems to be down…

If you wouldn’t mind shooting me an e-mail when it comes back up, it would be much appreciated!
