I have a copy of II in a Mac.  It works reasonably well, albeit slowly.  The
only way to transfer 5.25" disks is to hook up a IIe with that size drive to
your Mac and run the communications utility from II in a Mac on the II and the
emulator on the Mac.  

It chokes on some kinds of copy protection.  As a test, I tried several games
and only a couple old ones worked.  Bard's Tale I transferred ok, for example.

It runs only in monochrome.

You could probably buy a IIe with monitor for little more than the price of the
emulator.
