PC<->Mac Classic II< -> 800k Floppy (Prodos or HFS) Solves the problem of transfer and shifts the 'limiting factor' to how fast Shrinkit IIgs works :-) If you have a IIgs SCSI card you can connect a removable drive like an old SyQuest. Get one for both the Mac and the Apple and you'll have plenty of transfer bandwidth.
