The HD20 was designed for the Mac 512 and can be used on a Plus.
You could have the HD20 on the plus and access it via a localtalk card in
the IIe.
AS far as I know Apple never wrote a driver for it -- but that is possible.

There was harddisk made by Colorida firm ( I can not think of their name --
thought I have their software for apple II & III ) that had a unit that
worked on the mac 512, plus , IIE (with a card for 800k drives)  the IIc.  I
have the driver for that but not the drive.
