I believe you're outta luck with your existing hardware.  PCs can't handle
Apple 800K floppies (GCR encoding) and Apple 800K disks can't handle PC 720K/
1.44Meg floppies (MFM encoding).  With an Apple SuperDrive on the IIGS, you
could use a shareware MS-DOS utility package that I've seen on America Online.
I'm sorry, but I don't recall its name.  It was posted within the last few
weeks and is still in the New Files section under Apple II Desk Accesories and
utilities.

Find a friend who has a Macintosh, and get him or her to use Apple File
Exchange to transfer the disk contents for you.
