Apple disk -> MSDOS

 This thread has me a bit confused. Possibly why I overpaid for a superserial
card when I was trying to transfer things from a Doze-centric net.
 I wouldn't dare to question Freds knowledge of disk formats nor Sellams
fierce devotion to A2s but isn't one of the problems to get it into a format
where it can be saved on a PC ? The A2-GS supports older A2 formats I
believe as well as 3.5 disks. Couldn't one save it to a 3.5 disk and then
use the various Mac transfer programs or a power-mac to save it to a DOS
formatted disk ? Am I missing something ? I guess the only way to learn is
to try the exercise myself.

 As an aside there was a surplus dealer on the net that seemed to have a
ream of Diamond Trackstar cards going for $30 up to at least a year ago
when last I checked him and debated buying one.
