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.
