When I need to do it (rare) I use the Mac to read/write a floppy or CDROM
created on the PC. It's one of the things Mac's do better. Not an
endorsement of Mac's, I don't have one, but every platform has it's
advantages.

At work I just copy it over the LAN to our Mac OS X server, which is
configured to provide "SMB" (Windows networking emulation) services to
the two Wintel boxes (one Win 98 & one Win XP Pro) we have. No 'extra'
software required at either end.

I managed to create a boot diskette within windows with transmac years
ago. Also it was a powerbook duo 270c, with 68030 processor.

For such tools, whatever is maintained (looks like transmac is) is the
best. Antivirus software will jump and down of course, they do very low
level stuff. It shows AV quality. Just disable it and turn it back on.
Also before disabling, quit your browser and mail application.

Be sure to try first of course, do not blindly buy!

With windows-Mac networking so easy on OS X, I'd just connect the two
machines via ethernet cable and create a little network.
