? Are you sure this wasn't the "Apple 5.25 PC Card drive" I mentioned a
few posts ago, which looks like a II drive but
has a PC drive controller on a Nubus card inside the Mac II?

I have a bit of a hard time believing that you can just hook up an Apple
II 5.25 disk drive to a Mac, apart from the Mac/A2 3.5 inch drives.
