Laser brand Universal Disk Controller (UDC card).

When I had my IIe, I had a DuoDisk off one of the UDC's
ports and a Laser 3.5 drive off the other.  The Laser 3.5
drive is functionally equivalent to the Mac 3.5 drive
without the button (except it does have a mechanical
button same as PC 3.5 drives PLUS an eject motor so
the mechanical plunger pushes itself in when you drag
the 3.5 disk to the trash).

The UDC card will also run regular IIGS 3.5 drives.
