c2d can also read a hex listing with the following rules:

1.  Must end in .mon
2.  Must have an address on the first line, others are ignored.
3.  Must have a space after the :

e.g.:

perl -pi -e 's/:/8000: /' <apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.txt
>apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.mon

then

c2d apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.mon apple1-boot.dsk

If you are interested I created you an audio file for use with Apple
IIs without a disk controller:

perl -pi -e 's/:/ /' <apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.txt | \
perl -pi -e 's/[\n\r]//g' | \
perl -pi -e 's/^/8000: /' >apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.mon

c2t -2 apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.mon apple1-boot2.aif

Reading apple1.hgr2.8000.bin.hex.mon, type monitor, segment 1, start:
0x8000, length: 3840

Writing apple1-boot2.aif as Apple II formatted aiff.

To load up and run on your Apple II, type:

        CALL -151
        8000.8EFFR
        8000G
