Depending on what you mean by "compatible," there's
1) The Apple PC drive card and PC Drive 5.25, which lets you read and write
5.25" MS-DOS disks.
2) AST makes Mac86, an 8086 coprocessor card, to which you can also attach
a 5.25" drive. It will run MS-DOS programs, although not concurrently
with Mac software (it takes over the Mac's memory).
3) For the Mac II, AST's Mac286, an 80286 coprocessor, to which you can attach
a 5.25" drive. Unlike Mac86, it has its own on-board memory, so you can
use it simultaneously with Mac software, with the MS-DOS screen displayed
in a window. It emulates MDA, CGA, and Hercules, with color on a color
display.
