Check www.xlr8yourmac.com and see if they actually have an entry in their DB
for the superdrive you're looking for.
It should work in the B&W provided it'll fit in the Zip slot (unless you
would want to rip out your optical drive).
PS It may even work without a driver. Very few IDE devices actually need
drivers to work in Mac OS.
