Hello. How are you trying to connect your SuperDrive to your iMac M1? Are you making sure to use one of the adapters listed in the article here? You will need to make sure that the USB-C to USB-A adapter you are using provides enough power to your SuperDrive as it otherwise may not function as expected.
