I used ADTPro 0.1.4 to transfer two disk images to my IIgs from a PC; I
still don't have a working USB adapter for my Macs.  I got the images
from the link you posted earlier; here's what it finally resolves to:
http://www.lampefamily.us/jonathan/downloads/Apple2_BardsTale1.zip

I transferred bt1_boot.dsk to boot, and bt1_char.dsk as the character
disk.  I had ADTPro transfer them to a couple of random floppies I had
lying around; both were most likely formatted by DOS, but one had
recently housed a ProDOS image.  But that's not likely to be relevant.
The character disk was accepted and it let me goof with the characters,
add them to my party, and venture forth.  (To their eventual doom, as
it turns out.)

Yep, that's pretty strange.  My next test would be to get a copy of
MacADT (with standard DOS ADT at the Apple II end) and see if it is any
more successful in creating you a character disk.
