The best test is to send over the file DOS.DMP,
with the following procedure:

1) set up a term program on the Windows Box to
        send ascii with a .4 second delay

2) Go to the Apple II and type "IN#2"

3) Back to the Windows box and ascii send DOS.DMP

You should now see the file displaying on the Apple II's
screen. When complete, you can type "INIT,S6,D1" and you
will be formatting a DOS 3.3 disk.
