Superdrive help

[Steven Rimmington]

Hi please bear with me, I am trying to get a Superdrive (model number A1379) working on a 2012 Macbook Pro this drive works perfectly on a 2009 Macbook Pro running El Capitan, the drive is not faulty.

I have tried High Sierra & El Capitan to no avail, I keep getting the error message 'USB Device Not Supported'

Been a Windows user, I cannot figure this one out, anybody help? It should be plug and play?

MBP 2012s have a built in drive so Superdrives are not supported (some models are though mind). There is a terminal command I think which works, will see if I can dig it up.

Couldn't find anything on the official channel, but think I found the command on google.

try entering the following in terminal

sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"
