Following close on the heels of our recent report that Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1 for MacBook and MacBook Pro is causing widespread failure of optical drives (as witness, for example, the plethora of reports on Apple's own discussion boards), Apple has apparently pulled the update from circulation. The previous information URL, http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/superdrivefirmwareupdate21.html, now leads nowhere. Neither does the download link.

Please stay tuned for further developments. If you have downloaded the SuperDrive update and have not installed it, perhaps you should consider not doing so.
