Is this drive for IBM PC or Apple ?

Think it is a standard 5.25"360k floppy, images show standard 34pin slot connector. Found no reference to it being used in early Mac's. Can you supply a GOOD picture of the top back board where the jumpers are ? Way back some of the drives were used in PC, Amiga and others. Have to see the jumpers (or lack of) to tell if it is truly PC or not.

AFAIK no early Macintoshes used 5.25 FDDs, except for the "Twiggy" 128K prototypes.
Unless of course, if you count the Apple II line as Macintoshes, but that's a whole different animal.

Those pictures are useless as for seeing any jumper blocks. According to one website it is PC compatible but the jumpers must be set for a PC and not an Amiga or Amstras (which all use diff jumper settings)...
