MacBook Air External USB SuperDrive Confirmed to Only Work with MacBook Air Laptop
Over on the MacBook Air side of things, life is a bit strange with the new laptop. According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog, the external USB Superdrive that ships as a companion piece to the Air doesn't work with any other Macs.
For his experiment, writer Chris Ullrich attached the device into both a 24" iMac as well as a 15" MacBook Pro, both computers failing to mount and use the drive.
Maybe this will change with the release of Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.2 update or a piece of shareware that will allow this to occur, but if you had designs on mounting the external Superdrive with another Mac, those dreams might have to be put on hold for a while.
If you've gotten your hands on a MacBook Air and have any thoughts about it whatsoever, let us know over in the comments or forums.
