There are three types of 5.25 drives which I can name off the top of my head:
the LC //e card supports a II friendly 5.25, as everyone knows. Two others
which only do 360K DOS style 5.25s are Apple's PC drive which works with SEs
and nubus Macs, and the SCSI based Daynafile from Dayna. That unit combines
a 360K 5.25 and a HD 3.5 floppy in one box.
