Zip drives work well. If you have System 7, the PC Exchange control panel allows you to directly mount and access FAT formatted Zip disks. The only "con" is that the version of PC Exchange (2.0) that works with System 7-7.1 doesn't support VFAT long file names, you have to run 7.5.x for that.

I remember copying the PC Exchange control panel from a 7.5.x machine to a Mac running 7.0 or 7.1, many moons ago... And it worked. I wonder if that's all it would take? I wish I remembered if it handled long filenames!
