Thanks to all for the input. I really don't think my initial idea for terminal transfers is going to work. Someone put me onto Finder Info 1.1.1, which does resolve the file resource fork issue, but unfortunately it would only work with archives. If I had a hard drive it would be a great solution. But due to the limited space with only two 400k drives, extracting archives is not going to be ideal. I think the serial solution will still work though, I'm going to look at creating a 400k Appleshare disk. I've already created the disk image on MiniVMac and it seems to work. Once I get this onto a physical disk I should be able to access a file server running on Basilisk, through the serial cable. This should then allow me to copy application files directly to the blank 400k external disk. That's the plan anyway.
