PC Compatibility (and perhaps DOS Compatibility cards) have a special connector that takes a "multi-headed" cable. You can connect a separate monitor and the PC 5 1/4 drive to it. That way the Mac in which the card is installed can read PC formatted DOS disks (MS-DOS of course, not Apple DOS). Plugging an Apple ][gs drive into a Classic should work fine, though I believe most of those drives are only 800k.
