It seems to me that it wasn't that easy when I had to do it, but I forget
why. (then again, it could be that I didn't get that drive until later, but
I don't think so.

I ended up copying from the Classic to disk (in MS format?), and then I
think I had to boot my FreeBSD machine off of a linux installation to read
that, and I want to say it then went onto a USB zip disk which then went to
the mac.

Fortunately, it was just a few files.

I think that was also the last time I booted the FreeBSD machine.

Ahh, now I see:  the USB floppy is physically mounted *in* the freebsd
machine . . .
