Two words: Null Modem. [Unless you have some of the rare addon
hardware for one or both sides that makes disks usable between the
two] A generic PC and a generic GS can't do disk-based transfers on
either 3.5" or 5.25" disks, deal with it. For more info on the process
of null modeming stuff around, see the csa2 FAQ section 5 at
