DOS 3.3 can only access disks up to 400K (and that's with a whole lotta
modification). You need ProDOS to access the hard disk. If the card for
the hard disk is in slot 7, it should be able to boot up off it.

You can't use disks to transfer information. You can set up ADT or the
Disk Server in Apple Oasis and transfer files that way. The Apple II
accesses the Disk Server. You can leave the PC alone.
