You're using too many steps. You should be able to copy
the .dsk image straight to a ProDOS disk. Take it to Apple II,
then use Dsk2File o convert it to a disk. If you don't have Dsk2File,
you can find it at the many ftp sites where you get the .dsk files.
That is the easiest way to get them to your Apple without going
through all those other steps.
