Re: IIe Card for Mac LC, 3.5" Disk drive support!



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!
