the Apple TIL archive:
http://til.info.apple.com/tilarchive.nsf/artnum/n8807 states that
"The Apple IIe Card supports the following drives:
* The two Internal Macintosh LC SuperDrive disk drives
* One UniDisk 3.5-inch (part number A2M2053, white).
* Two Apple 5.25-inch Disk Drive (part number A9M0107, platinum)
connected to the drive cable or UniDisk 3.5. Note: If you hook up
a UniDisk 3.5-inch and Apple 5.25-inch, the UniDisk 3.5-inch goes
first.
The Apple IIe Card does NOT support: * The Apple 3.5-inch *
UniDisk (beige 5.25-inch) * DuoDisk * Disk II
The older 5.25-inch drives use -12 volts, which the Macintosh LC
does not support.
2) Some copy-protected applications require a UniDisk 3.5-inch as
part of the configuration, or they won't work correctly. Nor do
they work on the SuperDrive inside the Macintosh LC.
3) To eject a disk from an internal 3.5-inch disk:
* Press Command-Shift-1
* Enter the Option Panel (Command-Control-Esc) and press the Disk
Eject button." <snip>
Strangely, I've got a beige 5.25" UniDisk (A9M0104) that works just fine
with my LC //e. Perhaps it's not beige (or old) enough!
