Gee, if memory serves, it seems perfectly reasonable to throw disks about
between Macs and // series hardware.  I believe that both the Mac and
the //c use the IWM disk controller, a single chip version of the Woz's
original, ingenious 8-SSIs-or-thereabouts controller.  (I also hazily
remember something about the Mac having a 2x transfer rate setting.)

But hey, isn't that why Apple (foolishly?) limited itself hardwarewise?
They say you can do anything in software.  And if not, well, the //e's
always got slots...


(still playing with my //e)
