Difference between connection of Apple USB Superdrive

What is the difference between mounting Apple's USB super-drive as a "CD virtual drive" and mounting as as "USB", when they both do the same ?

I'm guessing under "CD" case the Apple driver still needs to be  installed in VM, but all i can see is if mounted as a CD ROM, You only get drive "D:" were as if you mounted via "USB" in Fusion u get (D:) and (E:)

Mounting this way can cause issues with certain software, like UltraISO, which the "Make CD/DVD wizard" only recognizes drive 😧 only even though both appear in the bottom half of the pane..

Probably just a software glitch of the developer, but is there any real differences in Fusion as to the different ways this is mounted?

There's no other difference than what you've mentioned already as far as I know.
