Heck, even the old Performa 475 had a SuperDrive! 
Built-in Apple SuperDrive 1.4MB high-density floppy disk drive, reads disks from Macintosh, Apple II, MS-DOS, and Windows systems
I guess they still had the trademark from the old floppy drives and just recycled it.

Yeah, I thought it sounded familiar too, but I was thinking of the Imation Superdisks first before the 1.44 MB SuperDrive occurred to me.

When I saw it I just thought "yeah good job take the name of the original Mac floppy drives"...
Ok they're not the original ones.
But every Mac that has a floppy drive has a SuperDrive.
I think.
My 5500 does, and the external floppy drive with my PowerBook 100's are also SuperDrives.

The "original" superdrives were the ones that read the 1. 4 Mb floppies. Earlier floppy drives, like the one in my 512Ke, could read only 800 K floppies--and the original 1984 Mac could read only 400 K floppies.

I thought the original SuperDrive was the one that would read 1.4s, 800k and also let you read and format a disk for PC or Apple II ProDOS

yup, the super thing about the drive was that it had a variable spin rate... slow for the old 800KB disks, faster for the (then) newer 1.4MB disks.

That's what I call SuperSmart!!!
But Apple don't hold trademarks for that, don't they?
