Apple has always been one to do things differently. Apparently, they made the external MacBook Air Superdrive different as well. It sounds like this drive can only work with your MBA, and not any other Macs or PCs. Now Apple didn’t do this to be mean. They wanted to create a Superdrive that could be powered by USB, instead of having to be plugged in the wall. In order to do this, they and to make the MacBook Air’s USB port “specially powered” to support the Superdrive. This probably means this won’t work on other Macs in your house. At least Steve Jobs wasn’t joking when he said they were made specifically for the MBA.
