Best way to do it is link the two computers via null modem. It's fast
and requires no hardware other than a modem cable. One of my IIgses is
linked to my PC this way and serves almost no other purpose than file
transfer.

Second best way is to use a Zip drive.

Third best way is to use the MS-DOS.FST in System 6 to read MS-DOS
1.44meg disks using the SuperDrive. Be warned, this doesn't work with
Win98 disks due to the 32-bit file addressing (well, I haven't had any
success with it).

Also, look for Peter Watson's MS-DOS utilities for the IIgs. It provides
true read-write capabilities for MS-DOS disks with the SuperDrive.
