I'm not sure, but what you might have is the PC-drive that Apple 
marketed for a while.   That one won't work (to my knowledge) 
with Apple II disks.  To see if this is the case, stick a 
PC floppy in the drive, and see if the finder recognises it. 
(I'm assuming you have PC exchange or DOS Mounter installed)
