I use two A9M0107 drives with my Apple IIe card without a problem.  Do you
have the special Y-cable?  The part number on mine is 590-0703-A.  The end
that attaches to the IIe card in the Mac has an outline of the Apple Inc.
logo, and the other two ends have floppy disk and joystick outlines.  The
disk drive has a DB-19 male connector and the Y-cable has a DB-19 female
connector.  The Y-cable has no 15 pin connector.
