No, it's exactly the opposite problem. My //e has a working Super Serial Card,
and I have already written a couple of programs that allow me to transfer a
5.25" disk to a image file in my PC's hard drive. But the //e has no 3.5"
drive. Thus, it can't read 3.5" floppies, nor send the data over a serial line
in order for the PC to create the image.

That's exactly what I intend to do if I buy it (at about $110, it's a bit
expensive, but maybe it will be a good inversion!). The flash adapter ("CFFA",
as it's called in the Apple II world) with a 64 MB CF card can provide two
ProDOS partitions (32 Mb is the size limit for a ProDOS partition). Then, you
can use the first as the work partition, and the second to copy programs to
and from other Compact Flash-enabled computers: as discussed recently in
Apple2list, there's a program for Windows, CiderPress, that lets you access
ProDOS partitions and disk images, much in the fasion as the know TransMac
does with HFS partitions. But I disgress, because using a CFFA with CiderPress
doesn't involve a Mac at all, and is clearly off-topic :-( .
Meanwhile, I'll try to create a 800 kb. raw disk image in my Classic I/II to
transfer to my PC and then copying the files to my Apple //e using a serial
link.
Btw: isn't it fun to use both a 16-bit machine and a 32-bit machine to put
data into an 8-bit machine? ;-)

Thank you! :-)
