Super Drive A1379 compatibility

I'm not able to get my old Super Drive A1379 to be recognized on my 2023 M3 iMac that only has USB-C ports. I'm using a Hiearcool UCN3610 hub to have USB3.0 ports. Clues?

Is this hub powered (enough), to be able to give power to USB devices that need that?

USB-C to USB-A adapters do work for slimline optical drives that do not have their own power supply. Hubs may be different.

My slimline optical drive (Pioneer) uses about 8 mA over USB for reading discs, so not much, but the power has to be there.
