Did the Unidisk look anything like the Disk II?  OR could it have been
possible that the drive mechanism was replaced in mine?

 Maybe there are several versions of the Disk II  
 There is only one Disk ][.  As mentioned before, the newer units were
 first called the Unidisk and then later simply 'Apple 5.25" Drive'.
