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 !!!

 

[Yr Blues]

Well that's not too elegant.

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.
