If it came with an imagewriter that means it probably has a super
serial card in slot 1 or 2.  If so, configure it for serial terminal
mode and then you can use ADT Pro to transfer disk images over.  You
will need to get a usb-to-rs232 serial adapter -- all in all costs less
(but is also less cool) than other solutions.  If you're itching to
play simple file-based games like frogger or moon patrol, you could
always use the Apple Game Server to avoid using floppies.  But that's
just shameless self-promotion on my part.  :-D
