This reminds me of another quest of mine: 
Besides the IIe card there was ANOTHER Mac<>5.25 solution
loe these many years ago:  A special card for a Compact Mac 
(SE? SE/30?)  that allowed you to hook up a special Apple 
Made 5.25 360k IBM PC type external drive.   I have one of 
those drives but alas no card.  Does anyone know of the card
of which I speak?  I am looking for one, but I have never seen
one.  If anyone knows of one, or knows of a online picture of 
one, I woud be grateful.  I am curious to see if one could use
it to create ProDOS formated 360k MFM PC type disks.  Why?
to see if they can then be read in 1 a PCTransporter Transdrive 
and 2.  in a Diamond Trackstar E equipped 386 with a 5.25 floppy. 
just tinkering ;)
-Bart
