Unfortunately the Well, from my old Apple ][ hardware/software hacking days, I can tell you that those files that are represented as disks for the emulator, are actual binary images of Apple ][ floppies. Apple ][ floppy disks are about 143K and the binary image of the file mathes perfectly with how a DOS 3.3 disk is set up. Now the only problem is getting the Apple ][ disk to the PC. I am working on this as we speak. I will be setting up my old Apple ][ to read the disk sector by sector into track or several track size blocks, and then transfer the image to the PC where I will combine them to one Apple ][ disk alltogether. I can't do the entire disk in one read, since the machine neither has enough RAM nor disk space to store an entire disk image, but in sections I can transfer it very easily. I should be getting this working this weekend (I hope..it should be easy though). If anyone would like the software I create to do the transfer (or maybe even transfer your software) let me know. I will post an update as soon as I make any progress. PS. Does anyone have an old spare Apple ][ Super Serial Card they would be willing to donate or sell? I only have a 1200 baud modem for my Apple to get the files between my 386 and my Apple ][.
