I am not sure the Laser can use a UniDisk at all.  Lasers contain
UDC controllers.  The UDC cards that were built for the IIe came
in two versions.  The earlier version supported the UniDisk 3.5
and all IIGS and Mac floppy drives.  The later version supported
only IIGS and Mac drives, not UniDisk 3.5.

It should work with a UniDisk 5.25, but not necessarily a
UniDisk 3.5.
