No. The Apple II era 5.25" floppy drives while having the same connector are not compatible with the floppy port on any Macintosh.
Edited: Do not also plug these drives into a Macintosh. It's not a sure bet but this is how you blow your IWM chip.

The only Apple II floppy drive you can use on the Early mac is the A9M0106 3.5" Floppy drive. Possibly the Unidisk 3.5" Apple II floppy drive but I am not definite on that as I have never tried.

Nope. The UniDisk 3.5” is a magical beast a Mac has no clue how to deal with.

YEah thats what I figured it being an intelligent device and the a9m0106 being dumb.
