Is there even support for that in the latest operating systems? What software do you use to run it?

I wound be interested in it IF I was sure I could use it.

That’s good to know.

Question does the studio max use USB-B and were you able to plug directly into the studio max without an adaptor?

I have a SuperDrive here at work and my work computer, 13” MBP running Ventura, won’t recognize it. Maybe the reason is because of the USB-B to USB-C dongle that is needed to plug into the Mac laptop? My personal laptop is also USB-C only. :(

It runs the latest USB, all backwards compatible. The drive need a powered USB plug, and dongles are not powered.

Good luck,

Thank you that explains the problem.

It is a great deal, but It wouldn’t work on my home computer as it’s usb-c only.

I see someone is interested. Good luck and thank you for the replies.

The Super Drive requires a powered USB port. Tablets do not provide a powered port.

I have a ~10 year old one that's running fine in one of the two traditional USB ports on an M1 Mac Mini under Ventura.

Will not work on an Apple Ipad, or I would have purchased it.

Wouldn't a powered adapter serve that purpose? I have a 7 port adapter that is powered. Maybe that's a dumb question.
