   The comp.sys.apple2 Frequently Asked Questions, posted regularly on
the first of the month (just over 12 hours away), or archived on the
WWW at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html details several
ways. The first thing you should know is that IBM and Apple II 5.25"
disk formats are incompatible at a hardware level. Rare addon hardware
is needed to bridge that gap, but other methods such as (null) modems
work well.
