Could this be what you're talking about?:
"To hook up a UniDisk 3.5" for an Apple //, just take the external drive
cable from your 400k drive, and plug it into the MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY of your
UniDisk drive. You MUST bypass the analog card inside the UniDisk to use the
drive on a Mac. You kinda have to take a lot of the UniDisk apart to get at
the connector on the mech. assy. This disables the eject button on the
UniDisk, as well as the LED "in use" light."

Would this be applicable to the 5.25" drive as well?
