PC-to-Apple ][ File Transfer

["DocMac" <jdmunro@pennswoods.net>]

I downloaded the popular ap2222pc program series for transferring disk
images from Apple ][ to PC via game port/parallel port.  Great idea --
but it doesn't run for me, despite all respondents that I've read
having had no big problem.  Issue:  The program is written for a 48 KB
machine -- the original config.  Mine (which I've had since 1982) uses
a language card, which boosts RAM to 64 KB.  I tried removing the card,
but the Apple refuses to do much of anything without it -- won't load
from disk or predictably respond to keystrokes.

1.  Does anyone have any experience with ap2222pc that would help me
sort out what might be wrong?  On the PC side, I'm using an old 486
laptop, as the program doesn't run under 32-bit systems.

2.  Does anyone know how to remove the language card (which I thought
would be a no-brainer), dropping the machine back to original 48 KB
config?  Is there some trick other than replacing the RAM chip?  (I
also have a 64 KB Legend RAM card, but that shouldn't be an issue -- it
has to be mapped in programatically 16 KB at a time.)

Thanks.
