I remember hearing something once about Apple changing the IWM (Integrated
Wozniak Machine; their disk controller) so that it can read (and maybe
write) IBM (Western Digital style controllers) format disks.

I know that the IWM was changed from the Mac to the Mac+; I don't know
if they actually implemented IBM mode read or write.  I definitely have NOT
seen any utilities for reading or writing IBM format on a Mac floppy drive.
