I seem to recall warnings that state don't use the Apple II 5.25" drive
with any Macintosh. It will fry the floppy driver chip.
Interestingly, the Mac Plus can daisy chain several external 3.5"
floppy drives, but the SE/30 can only handle one.

Hi guys...
I got a hold of an external PC 5.25 floppy drive
(A9M0110) with the intention of using it on my SE/30,
but as far as I can tell, it's not the right one that
goes with it. Or, is it possible to use it? I don't
want to plug it in and fry the little guy.... Anyone
know anthing about the match up?

Hmmm. I don't recall there being a 5.25" drive for other
than the Apple ][ series (and gs). I think there are
warnings about plugging any 5.25" drive into any Mac.
Other than the odd one that was made, with a special
cable, to use with some Macs with DOS cards installed.
