My 0.02:

First, archive it in a format that preserves forked files (gshk?).

Then,

a) Copy all of it to an HFS volume on a IIGS, then physically move the disk
and read it on a network-connected Mac.

or, perhaps

b) Configure an Appletalk server (older Mac or netatalk on OS X or Linux),
mount a volume and copy it over directly.

In addition, if you can access the drive in Windows (i.e. you have a
SCSI controller capable of connecting your IIgs hard drive) you should
be able to read the partitions using Ciderpress. Or alternatively
transfer any GSHK files via a serial connection - admittedly this
might take a while depending on the size of the archive(s).

Excellent point! If someone can lend Jawaid a CFFA, it can be loaded on the Apple and sneaker-netted to a reader on the PC. I've actually done this, so I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me.
