No. Centronics is a totally different interface from RS232.

It will read Apple CP/M disks, which are in the same format as regular
Apple disks. Its just the layout of the data on the sectors that is

General rule of thumb with Apple format disks: they can only be read on an
Apple.

General rule of thumb about Apple drives: they can only read Apple disks.
