Hi Guys--- Thanks for the info--I stumbled on a UK site (http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/drives.html) that seemed to set things straight-- Turns out that I can only use this drive (Apple PC 5.25" Drive (A9M0110) on a SE or another later Apple II because it needs a controller card to run it. SE/30s have the FDHD software built-in so what I really need to find is a "Apple FDHD External (G7287)" which is similar to one that uses the 3.5" floppy. With the SE/30's more sophisticated operating system, the drives evidently became "slaves" after being "intelligent" for the most part under Apple II's. I'll probably part with the PC drive, since I only go back to the Mac GUI era.... I just wanted to see if I could read some of my old 5.25's from earlier...
