That largely depends on the hardware you have on hand.  The "simplest"
way is probably to load up an Apple with a CFFA card (http://
dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php)
and use Asimov (http://www.ninjaforce.com/html/products.html) to
extract disk images to the Compact Flash.  Then, use CiderPress on a
PC (http://ciderpress.sourceforge.net/) to extract files from the CF
card.

Another simple (cheaper, but more time-consuming) way would be to use
ADTPro (http://adtpro.sourceforge.net) to transfer your disk images
directly via serial or via Ethernet (http://a2retrosystems.com/
products.htm), then use CiderPress again to extract individual files
from the images.
