 Forgive me for being dense but, how do you get an Apple
to create the image
file and send it out the serial cable? 
My favorite tool is Warren Toomey's "apl2serial", available by anonymous
FTP from
  ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/apple2/
There are also numerous other tools available on any of the gigabytes-of-
Apple II-copyright-violations disk image sites.
