There is a system called Spartan, published by Mimic Systems
in Vancouver, BC, which converts a Commodore 64 to an Apple II+.
With this system and the disk drive that comes with it, it
is possible to transfer files from one format to another. Spartan 
was posted at a retail price of around $300, but I've
seen packages being sold at clearance prices of $99 or under
(All prices Canadian). I assume you'd want to transfer ASCII
files only, as tokenized BASIC files wouldn't be compatible anyway.
