There are two different types of 5.25" drive that Apple made for use with the Mac:
1. If you have an Apple ][e card in an LC, you can use any standard Apple II floppy drive. It is accessible ONLY to the ][e environment.
2. Apple made a "PC Compatibility" 5.25" drive, that required a special card. The card was available in NuBus or SE PDS. And *ONLY* works on a Macintosh II (not any other model,) or a non-SuperDrive SE. This drive reads MS-DOS formatted 360 KB 5.25" disks. (And came with the needed software.) It does not read Apple II disks.
