Yes, and Apple's 3.5" UniDisk is also "Snow White." The 3.5" UniDisk
worked/works with the //c and also (with a card) on the //e. I'm not sure
about working on the //gs if it's compatible with the disk drive port
(unmodified).
There was even an A+ article which showed you how to modify the UniDisk
3.5 so it would work as an external drive on a Macintosh(!).

Apple II (also ][, ][+. //e, //c, //c+, and/or IIgs)

continues to prove quite useful and much longer-lasting than either of
the Steves might have guessed.
