Can you plug it into the AirPort Extreme and not have to plug it into the MPA every you need to?

Yr Blues,
I was wondering the same thing but with my Time Capsule. I plugged it into the TC and no luck, you need the MBA to power up the SuperDrive. Sorry !!!

not enough power through the airport extreme port? what about a third party drive in an enclosure that has its own plug in power supply?

No.

But you can share almost any DVD/CD drive attached to a Mac or Windows PC on your network using Remote Disc DVD or CD Sharing (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307317).

Please take your hand off the keyboard.

Slap yourself.

Think about what you just did.

Slap yourself again.

Resume typing.
