Inside Macintosh has some details on IWM signals. Word from Sony
(and I had to call six different divisions to find out) is that the
Mac drives have special electronics. You CANNOT modify a standard
3.5" drive for the Mac.
The Central Point Systems Copy II PC Deluxe Options Board lets you
read and write Mac disks on a PC class machine, so there is obviously
some compatibility. But the hardware is entirely different.
