Generally, a ProFile driver that is otherwise unspecified will be 5MB (i.e.
https://apple3.org/iiisoftware.html#drivers ). There is a different card
(ROM?) as you found out that will matter for 5 vs. 10MB variants and driver

I actually got it working. All of the driver floppy disks had 10MB written in
them in pen, but they worked ok with the 5MB Profile. I also had to try a
different I/O card to get it working.

size of the drive on the disk, What version do you have?
