Related question: is it possible to jury rig an external 3.5" floppy's internal cable into a Disk II controller board (is that what it's called?)? I haven't checked to see if the cable would physically fit.

No.  Different electrical interface, different control mechanism, different everything.  Well, they both read and write spinning Mylar with bits of rust on them.  I guess they have that in common. ;)

I have 1 3.5" disk - Broderbund's Printshop for IIgs. I have one mid-1984 Apple IIe with a Disk II and RAM expander, and external serial 5.25 and 3.5 drives, and nothing else. I'm curious what some of the more outlandish solutions are.

External serial 5.25 and 3.5 drives?  Wat?
