II in a Mac is VERY slow. That's not its most serious problem. It fails to
reliably produce the open apple-character, closed-apple-character, and
open-apple-esc commands that are needed for AppleWorks and Timeout
Appleworks. Consequently, stay away from II in a Mac if AppleWorks is what
you want to use. 

In addition, DOS3.3 software can't be accessed from disk, since 5.25" disks
can't be used. It's possible that something like AMDOS, the system that
allows use of DOS3.3 on 3.5" disks, might help.
