Yeah, I have this controller, and two of these Laser-branded 3.5"
drives, and the work fine.

The neatest part about these drive is that, even though from the
outside they look like conventional PC drives, and even though the
eject button feels like a manual eject button, the drives are able to
eject disks themselves via software.

I originally got these to act as a backup for my Liron + 2 UniDisk
3.5's in my college //e, but now that I've revived my very first
Apple //e that I used in High School in 1985, I'll probably add it
there.
