Use the Apple external SuperDrive on (almost) any Mac
Authored by: elvey on Aug 11, '14 10:34:45AM
Thanks, alexburke. sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1" was great advice - EXCEPT it would have wiped out my previous setting. First, I ran nvram boot-args, which showed that I already had boot-args set to -v on this MacBook Pro. So, knowing that, I instead ran sudo nvram boot-args="-v mbasd=1" which worked like a charm. I rebooted , and the DVD drive was recognized and I was able to burn (an ubuntu DVD-RW) with it.
