you need an adapter that has the MALE USB-C end that plugs into the Mac, and a FEMALE USB-A end that you plug the superdrive into.
yes, you can use the superdrive with an M1 Mac. but it will not work if you try to connect it through a dock or hub. it MUST be connected directly to the Mac. and since the superdrive has an USB connector and the MBP only has USB-C port, you will need to use an USB-C to USB Adapter to connect it directly.
Additional information: the MacBook Pro is a 13" laptop.

I have an AppleUSB-C to USB Adapter, but I am unable to connect the USB SuperDrive to it. Do I need a USB-A to USB-C Adapter?
Thanks

This is very helpful.
But will this adapter work if the Apple USB SuperDrive requires a power source through the cable?
Thanks
that's the main point of using an adapter rather than a hub. to ensure the superdrive has enough power.
