Does the computer have a serial port? If so you might want to invest
in a null-modem cable, DB-25 to DB-9 connector, and a Serial-to-USB
connector for your PC/Mac. There are a few projects out there that
can help you write your own disks from downloaded images (ADT Pro) and
also play games directly without disks (Apple Game Server 3)
If you don't have a super serial card, then you might want to hunt for
one of those on eBay as well.
