i have a couple of mid 2009 macbooks and have toyed with the idea of getting a spare superdrive in case one dies. but where can i get one? i know they're different than the earlier models. owc doesn't advertise them and i don't want an external. any ideas?

Exactly right here: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/MacBook-Early-Mid-2009-8x-SuperDrive/IF186-088-2

Generally, Ifixit sells just about every original Mac part you can think of.

- Right you are. Didn't see that.

Here's an Ebay search for the same unit.
