Not really an important ommision, as it's currently unidirectional, not very
user friendly, and AFAIK only used by me and tested by you, but you've
missed SnaffleUpADisk which lives here:

http://www.jaruth.com/shrydar/

From the info page:

" It's basically a tool that anyone with a Swiftlink cartridge, a bog
standard null-modem cable, and a host equipped with a serial port, a C
compiler and posix compliant termios libs should be able to use for
uploading disk images. I wrote it to back up all my old disks, so getting
transfers working in the opposite direction is a pretty low priority at the
moment, as is cleaning up the code, given that it basically works.
(Transfers a disk side in about five or six minutes)."

...

"This code has only been tested under Mac OS X versions 10.1.2 and 10.1.3,
on a G4/AGP with a keyspan USB to Serial converter.""
