Check the FAQ, I believe it lists places to get disks by mail for a nominal
fee.
You could also pick up a cheap/free IIgs and maybe a compact Mac such as the
SE/30, Classic II, or Classic in order of preference. Then you could
download A2 files with a PC, transfer via floppy to the Mac (those models
can read PC and ProDos disks), then use Shrink II to extract to 800K ProDos
disks that the IIgs can read, or just copy the files to 800K ProDos and use
ShrinkitGS to extract. Then transfer to 5.25", use Azimov or whatever.
Complicated, but that's half the fun...
