Here is a FAQ for all those extensions:

I'm not familiar with how you would go from .DSK to something the IIe
card could use without going through a physical diskette first.  A
place to start learning about the card's capabilities is here:

If you have serial capabilities on the real IIe, you can go the MacADT
or ADTPro route:
http://adtpro.sourceforge.net
The DOS ADT package ("ADT 2007_2") contains MacADT that will run on
classic Mac OS, and the ADTPro package ("ADTPro-1.0.3") will run on
OSX and other contemporary operating systems.

No, not without additional hardware (i.e. the Catweasel card).  The
1541 drive has a bunch of brains in it that make the PC connection
relatively easy; the Disk II is a whole different beast. :-)
