I think there was exactly one product from Apple that plugged into
the floppy port - a 20MB disk that required strange drivers. I
don't recall the part number, but when Apple came out with a 20MB
SCSI disk, they called it the "20SC" or something similar (IIRC)
to distinguish it from the older product.
That having been said, I would question how much Apple "discouraged"
people from using the SCSI port on the Mac Plus. There may have
been an alternative and Apple may have pushed it over third-party
disks, but once the stock of strange disks ran out, presuming
the Mac Plus was still being made, I doubt Apple would continue
to urge people to ignore the SCSI port.
