Apple2 5.25 disks cannot be read by other than Apple2
5.25 disk drives. You can:

1. Find someone with an Apple2 that can copy them from
5.25s to 3.5s. Then a mac can read them with PC Exchange
(which now includes prodos support) or Apple File Exchange.

2. Find someone with a mac LC and Apple2 card that can
copy them from 5.25s to 3.5s or the mac hard drive.

3. Transfer them electronically between Apple2 and
whatever.

4. Other more exotic ways to be explored if the above fail.
