Any way to run .DSK images -directly- on Apple // ?



Here's my scenario:

My basement is overrun with Apple // floppies.

I recently purchased and successfully tested the USB -> 5.25 adapter
(FC2025) from deviceside.com.

As suspected.. Some disks make great DSK files, others totally fail.

Let's assume I get 60% made into .DSK files.

Is it possible for me to chuck those .DSK files into the trash heap at
that point?

I want to:

() Run these .DSK files on my real Apple 2.. without having to convert
to REAL FLOPPY AGAIN
and
() Run these .DSK files (as images) on AppleWin on the PC.

I have plenty of "Cardflash / HD" storage on the Apple 2.. so, any
idea of there's a way to:

() Transfer these .DSK files over to the Flashcard "as is"
then
() When on the Apple // have some 'booter program' that will let me
pick a .DSK file and .. BOOT it ! :-)

That's my goal.

Thanks in advance.
