I'd be inclined to throw them in with "obscure operating systems"
(number 3), or "copy protected" (number 4), depending on the level of
expertise of the user, and the intended method of accessing the data.

Assuming you copied the files over to a 16 sector (DOS 3.3) disk, e.g.
with MUFFIN, then you are in the same boat as DOS 3.3 files, which may
or may not work under ProDOS; you could use DOS 3.3 launcher to access
the files, as long as they worked under DOS 3.3.

Anyway, the subject was "IIe disks", and I wouldn't call a 13-sector
disk a "IIe disk".  :-)
