Actually, it may be best not to connect the Apple 3.5 drive
to the PCT at all.  The MS-DOS format ability is flaky at best.
I would stick strictly to the use of disk images, like with
emulators on other computers.  The software you mentioned
includes utilities to get files into and out of images, so you
can just transfer files from your Wintel through a modem or
null modem to the GS hard drive then use the utilities to
get the files into your MS-DOS disk images.  Sort of like
using A2 emulators FOR the Wintel, but in REVERSE.
