Hello There. I already have an old Apple Super Drive DVD CD that I can connect to any Mac. However, recently I bought another DVD writer which will connect to a windows computer and Apple Mac. I bought it for my El Braille which is coming shortly just in case I needed to connect a DVD drive to it. Now I have two DVD Drives . I cannot understand why Apple’s DVD drive could only connect to Apple Mac. I’ve had this DVD drive since 2012 as sometimes it won’t read all the CD’s so now I have two DVD drives just in case one DVD drive won’t read all the CD’s that I have. I know it’s old but it’s good to have a DVD drive sometimes!
