What type of Apple are using? I use either an Apple IIc or an Apple IIc+ 
connected via the modem port to a Mac computer. I ask also because if you are 
using a older Mac (A Mac Se or earlier) or can get your hands on one you can 
use an emulator and an Apple program like CopyII to write directly to a 3.5 
floppy formated for ProDOS.   If you look into this make sure you do not use 
1.4MB floppies, they will not work. Going the 3.5 route maybe easier and 
better in the long run.
