I think that you will have to buy a "TransDrive" for use with IBM 5.25" 
disks, but you can plug an Apple 3.5" drive into the back of the 
TransDrive case for use with 720K 3.5" MS-DOS disks. I'm a little 
concerned by your lack of mention of a hard drive, though. If you plug 
your 3.5" drive into the Transporter for us with MS-DOS, you'll have to 
use your 5.25" drives to boot into ProDOS.

Whn you buy the Transporter, make sur it has the installation videotape 
with it. It makes installation _much_ easier.
