"The
iMac CD Firmware Update application places
new firmware on the CD-ROM drive to reduce
the amount of disc vibration. This
vibration is typically caused by
unbalanced CDs spinning at higher speeds
in the internal CD-ROM drive. This
vibration may cause the drive to have
difficulty reading the CD. The update
corrects an intermittent delay that can
occur on some iMac models when there is no
CD in the CD-ROM drive. This update
replaces "iMac CD Firmware Update 1.0"."

- USB
Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 is a set of
USB Mass Storage Class drivers written
by Apple Computer to support USB Mass
Storage Class devices. USB includes the
notion of Class drivers, a set of
software components generally delivered
by Operating System vendors that are
able to communicate with not just one,
but many different USB devices of a
particular kind. This enables any
number of compliant devices to be
plugged in and start working
immediately without the need to install
additional software. Several Class
Drivers are already included in Mac OS
for its computers with USB, including a
hub class driver and a composite class
driver. Over time, Apple expects to
offer new and updated Class drivers for
USB. The Mass Storage Support software
represents one of these class drivers
and is intended to support devices that
meet the USB Mass Storage Class
specification. Version 1.3.5 addresses
potential conflicts with multiple
drivers attempting to control a single
device.
