I'm not absolutely sure either way.
What I *am* sure about is that any such support will only work for high-density 1.4MB disks, not the older double-density 800KB disks used by the earliest Mac models. The latter require a variable-speed drive, which PC drives are not. As long as your Mac is new enough to have high-density disk support (including a SWIM controller), you'll be fine on that point.
