The stuff on ground is in archives, not disk images, so you need
a comm program, not ADT, to transfer the files.

Rubywand can provide you with URLs to download both a comm
program and the needed ShrinkIt! archiver in disk image format.
Get those over to your Apple II using ADT, then use the comm
program to xmodem (or ymodem or zmodem) the .shk archives
across the null modem cable to a ProDOS disk on the Apple II
side.  Then use the ShrinkIt! program to decompress the
archives.
