Using Central Point Software's Inc, "Universal Disk Controller" card it is possible to use external Apple Macintosh 3.5inch 800 Kb & 400 Kb disk drives on Apple II. The latter, would be useless because you can't read the disks on newer 800 kb drives!
I thought you wouldn't be able to read the disks either, then I tried it and found that everything that reads ProDOS disks will read them from my SE30 up to and including a beige G3 as well as the drives on my IIgs and the 3.5" UniDisk on
my IIc. The UDC card uses the regular ProDOS format not the odd format the 128k and 512k Mac used. Main problem with the Mac drives is the lack of an eject button though it wouldn't be hard to add one. Wayne
