Help getting DOS 3.3 onto ][c



Hi,
First off, let me thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge here and
in the FAQ's! I recently (last week) go myself a complete ][c system
(old peek=255) and your post ect. have been a great boon to my
understanding. I wasn't lucky enough (or rich enough :) back in the
80's to have owned one of these gems....or any other computer for that
matter... it wasn't till the mid 90's that I finally got a Mac, so I'm
starting from ground zero on the ][c. Here's my question/dilema, I have
the basic starter 5.25 floppies (Apple Intro, Mousepaint, Appleworks
ect.) but I've got no DOS 3.3 disk. I'm trying to tranfer .dsk images
to the ][c via an old Mac ClassicII thru serial connection with an
imagewriter cable. I have MacADT but I need to boot in DOS 3.3 to
transfer the ADT prog to the ][c (as you already know I'm sure)... I
read in the faq, and elsewhere that I need to dump DOS 3.3 to the ][c
via MacADT and then "init" a DOS 3.3 boot disk. How do I do the dump?
The answer is prolly very simple and in the FAQ but I believe my brain
has stopped processing info correctly as I've been researching the ][c
every night since I got it for several hours (much to the smiling
bemusement of my wife:). A step by step would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks again for all you wisdom!!!
