    MBP 1,1-10,2 Getting System Management Controller, Core 2 Duo MacBooks, and Charge Limiter to play nice together?

    So this is a total long shot, and it goes well beyond my limited wheelhouse of making un[der]documented things work nicely. It also means inviting those cosy with under-bonnet stuff to chime in.
