ADT (Apple <-> PC Disk Transfer) enables you to hook up an Apple ][ and a
PC via a null modem serial cable and transfer disks.  The transfer can
happen either way : Apple -> PC or PC -> Apple.

There are other programs to do it in other ways if your Apple ][ doesn't
have a serial card, etc.  I think - but am not sure - that at least some of
these programs can go both ways as well.

If all you want to do is have a play on an Apple ][ and play some games,
then you may be just as happy with an Apple ][ emulator running on your
PC.  Apple Oasis is a superb shareware emulator - registration is cheap as
well.  AppleWin and Apple PC are great freeware Apple emulators.

Check Asimov for utilities, emulators, etc :

BTW, I just bought an Apple ][c, monitor, printer, original disks and
manuals - all in mint condition - for $25 Aus ($15 US) - a great deal !
So, if you keep your eyes open, there are great deals out there.

All the best,
