SE 5.25 Floppy Drive

Anyone have one of these or use it? I don't ever recall it.

Did the card come with the floppy drive A9M0110?

Thanks!

I have the drive, but no card. :-(

There were two cards: One for the SE PDS, one NuBus. They came out at the same time (or very soon after) the SE and Macintosh II came out.

*ALL* they do is read 360 KB and 1.2 MB PC formatted floppy disks. It can *NOT* read Apple II formatted disks. (From what I understand.)

Does it read and write 1.2MB floppies or does it just read and write 360 K floppies?

only 360k, (tried with System 6.0.3 and Apple File Exchange application v1.0.1)

The two Apple cards for the 5.25" drive are very limited. They won't work in a Mac with ROMs that support a 1.4MB SuperDrive, for example. AST and Orange Micro also supported the drive on early DOS cards.
