Transfer to Apple II using tape port?

["Gideon Zenz" <gzenz.nospam@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I just found a Apple II in my university. It's much fun playing decathlon, but that's the only disk i found for it.

So I'm thinking about how to transfer more programms to it. I've found some docs about it, but I neither have a Mac nor a serial
card or whatever. And, as mentioned, no pro-dos disk etc.

So I thought about transfering data the most simple way - pluging my pc soundcard into the tape port of the Apple. I'm not sure if
this is possible at all, but that's my idea:

 - Write a small basic program which reads out a disk on an emulator, run-length encode it so we spare all those repeating bytes,
and save it to tape. I found an emulator which supports writing the tape-i/o as a wave-file to disk.

- Later I connect the pc and mac, write a (hopefully) simple basic program on the apple so it loads from tape, decodes and writes to
disk, and then play back the wave file.

If i got it right the tape does 300 bytes per second, so if we can squeeze the 140kb floppy image to let's say 80kb it should fit
into the memory (i think one of the many cards in the apple is a ram-expension so i've got 128kb) and it should just take about 5
minutes to transfer.

Impossible? Done before? What do you think? And where do i find the docs i need for Basic? Especially on reading/writing to
floppy/tape etc?
