Floppy drive connection problem

HI! I have a a2m4050 external disk drive that i used back in the 80s with my apple iic. Its works perfect!

I Think the connector its a db-9 connector, i have a lot of data on 5 1/4 diskettes and i want to transfer to use the regular 3 1/2 floppys. And i was wondering

Is there any way to connect it to my Macintosh SE or Macintosh IIcx? Any adapter or something like that?

Thanks in advance!

Macintosh SE

Carlos,

The Disk IIc drive does not appear to be compatible with any Macintosh computer (see, for example, http://www.vintagemacworld.com/drives.html).

If you have a working Apple IIc computer, you may want to try a null-modem connection to another computer instead. The Old Apple 5.25 floppies data transfer IIE OR IIC ASCI topic could perhaps be of interest, too.
