Lightscribe questions

[NeoMoses]

does anyone know much about the lightscribe technology? My question is this: does the lightscribe use a different laser than standard, or would it be possible to use an existing drive with a firmware upgrade for lightscribe burning?

It is not possible by a firmware upgrade. You really need a special drive.

and special media to do it as well.
