If this were a DOS computer you could boot BL3 floppy version on it and
transfer files, but I don't think the BL3 kernel will access fat32 files.
Maybe the next BL kernel should include that capability.
I used kermit for DOS and linux to transfer files from DOS to linux
computers. There is also a kermit for Windows - I don't know if you can
try it for free.
