If you have an old mac, you can take out the SuperDrive and use that!

Worked flawlessly in contrast to a no-name USB DVD drive I bought on AliExpress

Fun fact: in the G4/G5 era, the SuperDrive was a Pioneer DVR-1xx rebadged. That's how I got into them in the first place :)

This is also why the Pioneer-branded models work just perfectly in Mac OS 9 and every version of Mac OS X with no PatchBurn necessary: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/patchburn

My experience with Aliexpress USB CD drives is they contain recycled laptop optical drives, sometimes over a decade old!
