After so many shits posted in USENET and on various sites about this topic of
Apple IIc-PC transfer in order to restore the .dsk image disk files, here is 
THE solution :

1) Make a cable DB9 (or DB25) female - 5 pin DIN male (180 degrees). When you 
   see the rear of the Apple IIc, the wiring is :

             (notch)
                U 
    (DSR) 5 o       o 1 (DTR)
         
     (RxD) 4 o     o 2 (TxD)

                o 3 (GROUND)   
 

So connect the RxD of a COMx: port of the PC to the DIN pin 2, the TxD to
the DIN pin 4 and connect the PC GROUND to DIN pin 3. That's all for hardware.
Plug now your cable.

2) On PC, use the terminal program PROCOMM and set your COMx: port to 300,N,8,1
   and set XON/XOFF flow control ON (and hardware handshaking OFF).
   On the APPLE side, power up the computer and boot an APPLE DOS 3.3 disk,
   when you get the "]" APPLESOFT PROMPT, type IN#2 (the modem port of the
   APPLE is set to 300 bauds after a power-up).
   Return to PC and ask PROCOMM to transfer the ADT122.DMP file using the
   ASCII protocol (this file is widely distributed on Internet, be sure the
   first line of the file is NEW, the second CALL -151 and then the binary 
   data (remove all unwanted lines like 3D0G or others). After transfer, you
   will see the APPLE saving the ADT file automatically on disk.
   When it's done, LOCK the ADT file on APPLE in order to protect it.

3) Get the ADT122.ZIP file for PC DOS (it is widely distributed on INTERNET),
   unzip it, read the doc and run the ADT122.EXE file. Configure the port
   number and the 19200 speed.
   BRUN ADT on APPLE and configure port and speed, then either Receive or
   Transmit a .dsk file, by selecting the mode and just typing the name of
   the file. All is automatic, look at the screens of the computers exchanging
   data, it's wonderful ...

Happy transfer !
