The easiest (but slowest) way will be to hook a null-modem cable between the
machines and use terminal-emulation software on each end (e.g., ProTERM and
HyperTerminal) to send files between machines.

A faster approach, if you have access to a IIGS or Mac and your x86 box runs
Linux, would be to convert your disk from ProDOS to HFS and mount the
HFS-formatted disk under Linux (Mac partition table support and HFS support
are required; since you won't be using them daily, you should probably build
them as modules).  AFAIK, nothing currently exists for any x86 OS that reads
ProDOS filesystems.  It'd be a good Linux project for somebody as the
partition table has already been handled.
