Re: Transfer -> LC IIe card problems

Frank:

I've got a similar problem, but I have the 'Y' cord, and two 5.25 disk
drives.  

Can I simply download with my Mac and store them in the Apple II
partition of my hard drive.  Then expand / copy them to my 5.25 while
on the Apple // card?  How about Pascal and Dos 3.3??

What EXACTLY is the step by step procedure.  I'm sure its really
simple once I do it, but I just have never had it explained to me.

Additionally, is there anyway to do it directly while on the A2 card?

Thanks (a million) in advance.
