I transferred some disks to disk image with Asimov on the IIGS

But I am still going to get a USB serial adaptor for my Mac so
I can do direct transfers from the IIe and super serial card.

thanks for your help!


IIRC, you said that you have a CFFA card in your IIgs, and a PC.

If that's so, then your fastest option by far is to create the
images on your IIgs to a directory on a ProDOS partition on your
CF card.  Then remove the CF card and put it into a CF reader on
your PC and open it as a "volume" using CiderPress.

The entire contents of the CF card will be available to you to
copy, extract, convert, or whatever.

The capacity and speed of a CF card makes "sneakernet" a great
way to move lots of data with outstanding "bandwidth".  ;-)
And CiderPress takes all the drugery out of it.
