Not unless your Apple II system is a Laser 128 series unit or the
II is equipped with a Universal Disk Controller (UDC) from
Video Technology.  Video Technology, which manufactured the
Lasers and the UDC, built the Mac floppy standard into their
controllers.  Apple did not.

But you can always transform them into SCSI drives, like Steve
Buggie does with ProFile drives.  ;-)
