Filesharing a floppy was dropped from later versions of the OS.  I don't 
remember at which version it happened at.

There is a program called ProType which I think does the correct creator 
and filetype on the Mac before any resource forks get added.  With this 
program I think you could copy the files from the PC floppy to a Mac 
volume, drop the files on this and then be able to copy them over via 
filesharing without a resource fork.  It's been a while, but it must 
have been something I used a lot as it had a prominent place in my 
easily accessible utilities.
