At one point last year I asked a similar question.  (In fact, I was
referring to the same 3 ProFile drives.)  I'm not at all upset about the
inability to use them with the IBM PC (sorry Nick :-).  I was told then
also that there was a controller for the Apple II.  Is it made by Apple,
or are there others out there?  I was never able to find one.  If someone
can suggest a place that might sell me one, I'd really appreciate it.
