It looks like you can tell the SmartPort support to connect to the host 
Mac's floppy drive and any ProDOS partitions:

It seems unlikely it could be convinced to use, say, a 140k .dsk image 
of plain old DOS, though.

Here are the resources I've collected on the IIe card:

I'd let one go for the cost of shipping from the US, which is not at all 
inexpensive.  The problem with international shipping is the cheap-ish 
options are not trackable and are slow to get through customs (sometimes 
file-a-complaint-against-you-to-paypal-slow - been there, am done with 
that).  Faster couriers are trackable and (of course) fast, but you get 
the privilege of paying for it.
