The Superdrive, also known as the FDHD drive, is an Apple 3.5 inch drive that supports Apple GCR disk formats (400K single-sided, 800K double-sided) and IBM formats (720K, 1440K). It was standard as the internal drive on all of the later 68K-based Macintoshes. The Macintosh 128, 512, and Plus can not use it. The Macintosh II and Macintosh SE can be upgraded to support it, by installing the SWIM chip in place of the original IWM chip. An external Superdrive can be used on some Macintoshes, such as the IIci. The external Superdrive will *NOT* work with any model of Apple ][ (including the //gs) unless you use the Apple Superdrive interface card or a third-party equivalent. In particular, it will *NOT* work with the built-in controllers of the Apple //gs, //c, or //c+. (The documentation claims that it won't work at all. I suspect that it might work in GCR mode, but I haven't tried it.)
