What will be your destination file system? ProDOS or DOS 3.3?
I mean: do you want to access DOS 3.3 disks from a ProDOS volume or do
you want to access DOS 3.3 files stored on a ProDOS volume?

The characteristics of the file system are so different that I have no
clue how you could handle DOS 3.3 filenames on a ProDOS volume:
allowed characters and filename lengths are sooooo different!

Good luck with that one! That can be done (DOS.MASTER or Copy II plus
convert program)
