There are a number of options available. If your eMac can write HFS diskettes to the USB drive, pop that floppy into the LC then copy those files directly to your ProDOS partition. If you cannot reliably write HFS floppies, try installing PC Exchange on the LC then write the files to FAT (or PC) formatted diskette on the eMac. If floppies just aren't working for you and you have a CD burner on your eMac, in addition to a CD-ROM drive for your LC, then burn the files to an ISO9660 formatted CD. (Better yet, use an HFS formatted CD.) You may be able to copy the files, but have trouble reading them on the IIe card. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that the files may become corrupted while they are being downloaded. You can avoid that by always setting the file transfer mode to "binary". The other source of "corrupt" files is the Macintosh itself. It likes adding resource forks. The file itself is intact, it is just that Apple II software cannot deal with that additional information. If my memory serves me correctly, you can solve this problem on the Apple II side with a program called UNFORKIT, or on the Mac side by transerfing the files with File Exchanges (you'll find that utility on the System 6/7 floppies).
