Title:
  Apple SuperDrive USB optical reader needs unlock

Status in udev package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The SuperDrive USB dvd drive from Apple needs a specific
  initialization sequence to get started. It can be implemented with
  sg3-utils and the following udev rule:

  # Initialise Apple SuperDrive
  ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1500", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", DRIVERS=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/sg_raw /dev/$kernel EA 00 00 00 00 00 01"

  I'm not sure if this line should be provided by the udev package, the
  sg3-utils package or a separate package. I'm initially posting the bug
  on the udev package.
