Using the Apple File exchange program on your mac, you can directly
read and write 3.5" prodos disks in your Mac disk drive.

I had just finished getting the proper cable and had stretched it
across the room between my apple // and my mac to find out it was too
short.  Right before I strangled myself with it I thought of the Apple
File exchange program.

I gave it a try, launched it and inserted a Prodos formatted floppy.
It recognized it and copied files without a problem.  Whew!  No more
cables, terminal programs and obscure telecomm settings.
