The Apple 3.5" drive can be read/written at the low level more or less like we
used to have to treat the Apple 5.25" drives.  It's just very uncommon,
because the smartport takes care of everything.  It is possible, with work,
to make the drive read 720k IBM disks.  As for those 880k Amiga disks, I have
no idea...
