Copying 400 disks is going to be a lot of work regardless, but the null
modem is the easiest, cheapest way to do it that I could think of. The
program ADT (Apple Disk Transfer) was designed to do exactly what you want
to do. Unless you have a 3.5" drive on the IIe and an older macintosh, a
SCSI card on the IIe, or some extremely rare hardware for your PC, I don't
see any other way around it. Or I bet you could find someone here or on
csa2.marketplace who would be willing to copy all your disks over for a
small fee.

Good luck,
Greg
