Yeah, basically if you bought the drives and the card as a "lot" from a
seller,
he "Shystered you" as the 3.5 Drive will not work on a II with anything
other
than a "Superdrive card" or a IIgs (well, and a Mac, but hey!)
The 3.5" Drive you need is called (as Bill mentioned) a "Unidisk" - you can
tell it's a unidisk by both the color (snow-white) and the placement of the
eject push-button. The push-button will be above and to the right of the
drive slot, not in line with it like a 3.5 Drive.
Bill's offer is a reasonable price - $25+shipping, seen as I just recently
purchased a pair of "Superdrives" (much more common than a Unidisk
3.5" drive) for $24 each.
Best of luck, keep us posted!
Later,
Craig
