[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1636239, member: 204485"] Good thinking nick, but no the minute she plugs it into her new MBP the **** DVD starts playing. So it's working fine on hers. With mine the disk doesn't mount at all. Not even visible in Disk Utility. Seems the new Super drive is completely incompatible with a device that has an inboard Super drive. I'm flabbergasted, just as well I have a Sony that does work. I suggest anyone one who assumed they could by an external USB Superdrive as a compliment/replacement get an old model before they all become incompatible. What the **** is Apple doing? I really don't like the direction Apple are going with this. Could it be a feature of Yosemite? I might just start a new thread on this topic just in case I'm wrong but it certainly warrants a little investigation. By the way the Super Drive powers up ok when plugged into my MBP so no issue there, I can feel and hear it spinning. [/QUOTE]
