  We study the SUSY/non-SUSY duality proposed by Aganagic et al. from Type IIA
string and M-theory perspectives. We find that our brane configuration
generalizes the so-called $extended$ Seiberg-Witten theory on the one hand, and
provides a way to realize non-SUSY vacua by intersecting NS5-branes on the
other hand. We also argue how the partial SUSY breaking from $\Ncal=2$ down to
$\Ncal=1$ can be clearly visualized through the brane picture.
