The Unidrive 3.5" is in a white case and has a eject button which
is near the upper right corner of the drive. I haven't tried the Unidisk
3.5" (A2M2053) on my Macs so I don't know if it would work. BTW,
I only paid $1 for my Unidisk at Goodwill with an Apple IIe and the
rare Apple 3.5" Disk Drive Controller Card aka the Liron card.

The Apple 3.5" drive has an eject button in line with the disk slot and it
is
platinum colored. The Beige Mac drive without the button will not work
on a IIgs. The Apple 3.5" drive (A2M0106) will work on a Mac. I usually
find these at Goodwill for a $1.
