You need to run SST Saltine's Super Transcopy : ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/disk_utils/saltines_super_transcopy/ I am pretty sure it can do 13 sector disks - it can certainly do copy-protected disks. ADT this SST program disk image over to your ][e, and then run SST on your ][e, and use it to make a NIB copy of your protected disk (you will need 2 blank formated ][e DOS disks for this), and then ADT the 2 SST NIB images over to your PC and run SST under the emulator to put the 2 SST images back together into a single NIB disk image. It is a bit convoluted, but it works - I have done it PC -> ][c and ][c -> PC. If ADT was extended using the code / ideas in SST, or if SST was extended to transmit the disk images over a null modem instead of saving them to disk on the same machine, then we could copy standard DOS 3.3 / ProDOS disks (.dsk) or copy-protected disks (.nib) and we would have it all it one program.
