Because this drive is a direct manufacturers replacement for the earlier Matsushita drives Apple fitted in these laptops, the original optical bezels will fit these new drives.
This drive is not suitable for the 13" MacBook or 15" MacBook Pro as these laptops use a thinner format drive (UJ-857/UJ-867/GSA-S10N).
This drive can be used with OSX 10.2 or higher in conjunction with disk burning software such as Toast. Disk buring is directly supported within OSX 10.4 or later. There is no manual, software or mounting hardware included.
