I saw this post mentioned over at Life Hacker, and I thought it would be perfect in getting past that firmware update problem we're all having on Macs. The problem are those ".DS-Store" and other files that Macs write to volumes that are mounted on a Mac. Since the AF100 won't accept firmware that has the hierarchy changed at all, it's stopping us from updating the firmware. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I will soon.

There is a specific thread on this already in which Barry Green and others offer a couple of solutions for the Mac FW update issue. I used them with success a couple of days ago. A search should find this thread easily.
