The most popular way to transfer files from an A2 to a PC is through ADT
(Apple Disk Transfer). You can find a copy at :

http://tarnover.dyndns.org/Utilities/ADT/

(a little shameless self-promotion). You'll need a null modem cable,
and the Super Serial card you mentioned is useful. Complete
instructions on how to set up the hardware and use the app are included
in the zip file(s).

This subject comes up with some regularity at comp.sys.apple2, so if you
get stuck, you might ask there.
