Nope. The A2M2053 is the Apple UniDisk 3.5.
This drive can be connected directly to an Apple IIc (with ROM version
reported by PRINT PEEK(64447) as 0, 3 or 4), Apple IIc+ or Apple IIgs.
For an Apple IIe, it can be used with the "Liron" controller card
("Apple 3.5 Floppy Disk Drive Interface Card") or SuperDrive controller
card ("Apple II 3.5 Disk Controller Card").
It is an intelligent drive (SmartPort), in that it contains its own
microprocessor.
