Okay. I know I started this topic a while ago and badly but I'd like to again try to write a 5.25" floppy in ProDOS format. The problem is, though ADTPro can download ProDOS fine onto my IIe (i.e. its receiver cassette port works fine), the IIe doesn't seem to be able to transmit a request for anything (i.e. problem with the transmitter port), so I can't for instance write disks (it's been a while since I've tested this but that is my recollection).
I don't care how, but I gather the easiest way is almost certainly going to somehow be through my IIe. That's, unfortunately, the only Apple II system I have - it has a Disk II and a memory 64k I think (and probably column) expander. I have a 5.25" IBM PC 360k compatible disk drive in a 32-bit Windows computer. I routinely use my 64-bit desktop (I guess those details aren't really important) with a USB floppy drive and WinImage to 'burn' 3.5" Mac floppies (that's just the easiest route I've found).
If I make a ProDOS image, like in an emulator - like in Basilisk or Sheepshaver particularly, and assuming WinImage can read it which I think it will be able to, I think I should have no trouble writing 3.5" ProDOS floppies from my PC. I don't know if someone can confirm this/if it's come up before. In that same line of thinking, could I just use WinImage with the 5.25" drive...?? I never tried WinImage - or Transmac. I don't think I've tried Transmac with my USB floppy. But the 5.25" drive detects natively, so it may be usable by WinImage. I may have time later.
