I believe that there are some mac side drivers that can be told to treat
the cartridge like a hard drive, and not spit it out at reboot, but I
don't know what ones do this, I suppose someone else on the list will
have to tell you this

No, it isn't the mac side utils that do this, but you. What ever kernel
you might be installing might not work on both machines, I don't know

the ins and outs of kernels for them.
