I really enjoyed the technical challenge when I first did it, but I'm a
technician...
I've been meaning to make some floppies with the must-have utils on them,
and then make Mac DiskCopy images, so at least anyone with an old  Mac could
get Shrinkit, Shrinkit GS, and a choice of comm programs like Zlink and
Agate onto bootable ProDos 800K floppies.

The next thing to do would be to make the same kind of thing for ADT, and a
step-by-step cookbook process to follow to get those utils across to an
Apple II with no software.  I haven't tried ADT yet, but I gather this is
possible.
