You need a program called ProTYPE for the Mac.

I'll let Randy Shackelford step in and answer this one.

I take it you want to change the disk image back into a real 5.25"
disk for the IIe card to run?  You are going to have to treat
the problem like if it was on a real IIe.

Basically, after running the files through ProTYPE, you power
up the IIe card and use DSK2FILE to convert the DSK files
to real 5.25" disks.

One other resource is comp.emulators.apple2.  That's probably
a better place because most people on comp.sys.apple2 are
fooling around with real Apple IIs.
