But after plugging this gadget in, will the drive still read DOS/Mac/et c. disks?


I should think so.

If this device is similar to the one Alan from Eyetech has mentioned on the AmigaOne mailing list, then it will pass through PC-style tracks (or sectors, can't remember how it works) without modifying them.  I'm not sure whether Mac or any other types of floppies will work with this device, I guess it really depends on whether standard PC disk controllers can read them or not.
