You need to convert your DOS files to ProDOS format first (you can do
this with the system utilities that came with prodos). Once they are on
ProDOS-formatted 3.5" disks, install the ProDOS file system extension on
your Mac. Restart your Mac, insert the ProDOS disk and copy it to your
Mac's HD or whatever.

Alternately, you could take photos of the text, put them on a photoCD
and squeeze them through a OCR software on your Mac. Hehe...:-)
