AFAIK, this is not possible.  In fact, the HD20 won't work with any available
Apple II floppy controller.  Early Macs had information pertinent to the HD20
in their controller ROM, which no Apple II controller has.  This question
usually arises with respect to the Universal Disk Controller, but the answer
is the same, it doesn't work.

HD20s are valued by early Mac collectors.  If you don't want to use it with 
and early Mac, you could get a good price on eBay.
