I made one of the stupidest purchases in a long time, I bought an HD DVD Drive and I decided to test it on my Macs. I'm back with a 3rd installment of what I'll call macOS and defunct media, this time with HDDVD, a failed media format that tried to be successor to DVD. A lot of reading went into this one.
