Does anyone know of either:
1) An Apple II+/IIc/IIe utility which writes an Apple file
onto a 5 1/4 inch disk in Commodore format
2) A Commodore 64 utility which reads an Apple disk in the
1541.
Any responses to this would be greatly appreciated, as they would save
an enormous amount of time and effort hooking up cables to transfer the
stuff via terminal programs.

With this system and the disk drive that comes with it, it is possible to transfer files from one format to another. Spartan was posted at a retail price of around $300, but I've seen packages being sold at clearance prices of $99 or under (All prices Canadian). I assume you'd want to transfer ASCII files only, as tokenized BASIC files wouldn't be compatible anyway.
