Newbie questions

Hi, I'm new in the Apple II community. I got an Apple //c a few days ago 
and I don't know very much about these computers but I've read as many 
FAQs as I could. I find it most annoying that transfering data between a 
PC and the Apple //c is so difficult. I understand that a standard PC 
5,25" floppy disc drive cannot do the job and that even an external 
Apple 3,5" drive wouldn't help (except special drives that wouldn't be 
easy to find).
A null modem cable is not a suitable solution for me as I have no 
experience with soldering cables.
I have a Catweasel controller card in my PC which could read and write 
Apple II discs but no one seems to have written drivers for this format.
And I have a lot of Commodore drives. Is it possible to use a 1571 to 
transfer disc images? I have a 1571 hooked up to my PC's parallel port 
to transfer Commodore 64/128 disc images. But I know the 1571 is a 
versatile drive that can handle many different formats.
Could a Macintosh help? I have plenty of 68k Macs at home but no 
suitable 5,25" drive. Can I attach the Apple //c's disk drive to an 
older mac's floppy disc controller?
Thank you very much!
