SuperDrive is a
recycled moniker at Apple Computer.
The original use of the term was for an early innovative floppy disk drive, which was capable of supporting (via firmware and system software extensions) many disk formats, including AppleDOS (800K & 1.44Mb), MS-DOS (800K & 1.44Mb) and Apple's own HFS (400K (read-only) 800K & 1.44Mb).
The units were manufactured by Sony of Japan, introduced with the NuBus-based Macintosh II, and were finally obsoleted with the launch of the legacy free iMac.
