Ditto to the above. PC<->Mac Classic II< -> 800k Floppy (Prodos or HFS)

Solves the problem of transfer and shifts the 'limiting factor' to how fast
Shrinkit IIgs works :-)

If you have a IIgs SCSI card you can connect a removable drive like an old
SyQuest. Get one for both the Mac and the Apple and you'll have plenty of
transfer bandwidth.
