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.


I forgot to add that using ShrinkIt to make whole-disk archives
rather than images will reduce the space required on the CF card,
and CiderPress will happily convert them to .do or .po images.


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.
