Simulators & AppleII copy protected disks ?

Hi Guys,

I have a friend who has recently retired an Apple IIe in favor of
running a simulator. He was able to use ADT and a serial card to
transfer most of his disk images over to the PC for use with the
simulation, however certain copy-protected games could not be
transferred.

Does anyone know if there is software available to transfer Apple II
disk images on a raw-binary basis (ie: not necessarily well formed
sectors), and if so, are there any simulators which can make use of
such images?

I know this would be fairly complex, as the Apple could do half
tracks etc., and timing can be critical to many Apple copy protection
schemes. These factors would also have to be delt with somehow - is
there anything available which can do this?

Regards,
Dave
