Yes, although it does treat them as a 1.4mb ProDOS HD instead of a floppy
in many cases, or is this normal behavior?
Also, the gray IIgs 3.5 works with the IIe card.
Does anyone know if the UniDisk 5.25 works? I haven't tried it but I think
I have one or two laying around, though from everything I've seen of the
UniDisks perhaps it would be better to just stick with the more modern
gray ones.
