I doubt it azz and if you can then I cant imagine it being worth the hassle. Just as well getting a new usb r/w in my opinion but I could be wrong.

i think this can be done as my m8 done no probs as most external writers are standard writers in a external box.<br />you can get a external usb or parallel box it will cost about 65 quid but works ok <br />a computer fair may turn up one 4 u <br />hope this helps....baz <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
