Hello John, the Copy II PC option board & Option board Deluxe were
designed to transfer Macintosh Files to a PC and to copy "protected"
IBM PC software.  I have not had any luck copying Apple II software
with it.  It does a great job on IBM PC software so I don't know if an
Option Board is what you need to copy Apple stuff.  As for the
Macintosh software, it does work but I have found software packages
that run on the IBM PC that transfer files with much greater
reliability without any additional hardware.
