I've done similar stuff to what Dave Althoff did (but it never
occurred to me to try to transfer DOS 3.3 this way; I think ProDOS
could be done this way as well but would require some extra setup work
but only to create the file that would be used by everyone).

I've been wanting to sit down and put together a text file of
instructions and all the software needed in the appropriate formats to
get people up and running using only an Apple II with a serial
interface of some kind (Super Serial Card, built in port, or other).
I still plan on doing it, I'm just not sure when I'll have the time to
do it.

All you need to do is get an operating system and a communications
program transferred to your Apple II and everything else can be
null-modemed after.

I might be able to have this done by the end of October if things
don't get any busier for me than they are right now.
