Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive

I can't find any info on this, the one review on Amazon says it works only on a MacBook Air. But in the picture I see a USB connector. I like how it looks and the fact it's slot loading. Is there any chance this would work on a PC?


*EDIT* n/m I typoed my Google search and foudn tons of links saying it can be hacked to work with a PC, woo. nice looking drive 😀
 
The IDE to USB brdige inside the device only allows it to be used with the MacBook Air. However, with a little patience, some know-how, and a $12 replacement bridge you can make it work on any system that has USB.

Also you can get this drive here which although it isn't slot loading, doesn't require tampering to get it to work on other systems, still is fairly sleek, costs $20 less, and has an internal battery so that it can burn at full speed with only 1 USB cable (full internal drive speed, 8x)
 
Slot loading one of the big reasons I'm interested in the Apple drive 🙂 I did find a Samsung that's not quite as sexy, but is slot loading. I think I might jump on that over this Apple one. Wish I could afford an Air book 😀
