Copy II PC Option brd read Apple floppies?



I read some time ago that there is a way, maybe a program, to read an
Apple ][ floppy on a PC with a Copy II PC Option board. I didn't save
the post, as I didn't think I'd ever even _see_ a Copy II PC Option
board. I was wrong... I just got one at a local Ham-Fest, and I skimmed
through the manual... mostly just information on copying protected
software and reading Mac floppies. (yes, 800k and 400k) It will read
5.25" floppies too, and it even mentions the Apple ][, but no software
is included for this, and no instruction on reading Apple ][ floppies.
(just a note about the Apple ][ using the same GCR encoding as the Mac)
I know that the ProDOS format is very similar to the Mac format, but
most of my floppies are DOS 3.3...

Does anyone know how to do this? I have hundreds of Apple floppies I'd
LOVE to make disk images of!  ( Yes, I would upload all of them :)
Copying them the "normal" way just takes too long for this quantity. :(


Thank you _very_ much!
Kevin
