As far as I know, the only Mac that will take a 5.25 is the LC (I,II,III)
with the Apple II card thingey.  There is an easier way.  Just get your
files from the 5.25 disk to a 3.5, THEN use Apple File Exchange.  Keep in
mind that the only file easily transferable (at least 8 bit) are text
files.  AppleWorks files I hear can be directly read by the latest
MS-Works, however.--
