Yes, but there are some hurdles to overcome. You can transfer the .dsk
images from your PC to the Mac via floppy. With 7.11 you need that utility
that can read PC formatted floppies. The name is slipping my mind...
Do you have a ProDos partiton on your hard disk? If not, you could attach an
external hard disk and put a ProDos partition on that. It will be a lot
easier to work from a hard disk. Alternatively, use an 800K floppy.
You will need utilities like Azimov to transfer the .dsk images to floppy,
and Unforkit to remove the forks that your Mac will add to files. Shrink II
would also be handy, it's a Mac util for extracting Shrinkit files.

Another method would be to use ADT on your PC, and a serial cable to the IIe
in your Mac. Read over the faq, it details this stuff.

BTW, the Color Classic is a wonderful Apple II accessory. I have two,
upgraded with the motherbds from Performa 575's, so they have 33 mhz 040
processors.
They can run the IIe card, be a Appletalk server, and even burn CD's. All in
that compact form factor.
