   From the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html, section 5.9: "How do I
read/write Apple II files from a Macintosh?"

  With Macintosh System 7, the Macintosh gained the ability to write to
   ProDOS formatted disks. With System 7.5 and up, the Control Panel 'PC
   Exchange' lets you mount ProDOS and MS-DOS disks on the desktop and
   copy files to and from them. Before 7.5, the program 'Apple File
   Exchange' (not installed by default-- look through the options in the
   installer) is an application that lets you do the same. Consult the
   system software disks for your Mac if you can't find these programs.
