# This will disable and enable your optical drive. It requires a restart.
# It is not known what effect other software (including software updates)
# will have on this if they do anything with this kernel extension.
#
# I created this because I've found the optical drive noise my MacBook
# makes when it comes out of sleep to be annoying at times. Unfortunately
# it still makes that noise.
