That depends, a little.  From reading your other posts, I see you have
a Mac and a PC, and an IIe.  I don't know what specific hardware you
have in the IIe, like a Super Serial card, CFFA card, or Uthernet
card.

If you have a Super Serial card, you can use your PC and ADT (http://
adt.berlios.de) to do transfers directly from floppy to .dsk.  This is
probably the "best" solution, given nothing more than a 5.25" disk, an
SSC, and  a PC.

If you have a serial connection on your Mac as well as a Super Serial
card, you can use ADTPro (http://adtpro.sourceforge.net) to do
transfers directly from floppy to .po.  If you have infinite patience,
you can also use ADTPro to do transfers via your PC or Mac's sound
card.  If you have an Uthernet card (http://a2retrosystems.com/) you
can transfer directly from floppy to .po over Ethernet.

If you have a CFFA card (http://dreher.net/?s=projects/
CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php), you can use Asimov
(http://www.ninjaforce.com/html/products.html) to create disk images
from your disks onto a Compact Flash card, then CiderPress (http://
ciderpress.sourceforge.net//index.htm) to copy the image files from
the Compact Flash card to your PC.
