Depending on what you mean by "compatible," there's

1) The Apple PC drive card and PC Drive 5.25, which lets you read and write
   5.25" MS-DOS disks.
2) AST makes Mac86, an 8086 coprocessor card, to which you can also attach
   a 5.25" drive.  It will run MS-DOS programs, although not concurrently
   with Mac software (it takes over the Mac's memory).
3) For the Mac II, AST's Mac286, an 80286 coprocessor, to which you can attach
   a 5.25" drive.  Unlike Mac86, it has its own on-board memory, so you can
   use it simultaneously with Mac software, with the MS-DOS screen displayed
   in a window.  It emulates MDA, CGA, and Hercules, with color on a color
   display.
