oualid.burstrom@telia.com asked:


I have an PC with a 5.25'' floppy drive.
I downloaded some Apple II softwares from the net and I would like to copy them on the 5.25'' floppy.
My intention is to use this floppy in my IIc.
Is there any software for PC that can create Apple II disk image and copy it on a 5.25'' floppy disk and then use this floppy disk in my IIc?

No.

There is software available which can read Apple 5.25" disks on
a PC, but the PC floppy controller is incapable of writing a Apple
disk because it always writes in MFM mode.

Your best bet is to link your PC with your Apple //c using a serial
cable, and use software like ADT to transfer disk images to your
//c for writing to Apple disks.

Check the csa2 FAQ for more information.

I told him as much in a different thread. I guess he didn't believe me. ;-p


Yes, just after posting my reply, I found a very similar question in
another of his posts, to which you replied.

He doesn't seem to be very patient, so he may have trouble getting
ADT working.  ;-)

Well, after reading FAQ carefully and follow the instructions I succeeded to transfer AII software from the PC to IIC.
Anyway I would like to thank all of you for helping me!
