About

In 1986 Apple released the Apple 3.5" Drive, this drive can be used on both the Apple II systems and newer systems like the Macintosh Plus.

A few years later in 1989 the device got superseded by the Apple FDHD Drive, which could also accept the more common 1.44MB also found in DOS systems.

The Apple 3.5" Drive has a daisy chaining port on the back, but this can only be used on the Apple II systems. (Up to 1 additional drive total)
Using this port on other systems has no function.
