Have you considered using the serial line to a PC as terminal (I prefer
Procomm or VTcom)
and transfering an ascii file of a simple file transfer utility using
PIP as in PIP foo.txt=con:?
If you can pip text across you can pip a source for simple transfer
utility and do it via serial
line rather than trying to create disks.

I found what purports to be a diskdef for cpmtools,

any success at all. The file _appears_ to copy into the image and I
can read it back out uncorrupted with cpmtools, but when I write it to
a disk with Dave Dunfield's NST and boot it, the file is filled with E5s.
I did note the diskdef is for 70 tracks (double-sided) and tried
changing the track value to 35. No luck.
I'm trying to move the Morrow HD format/test utility to a diskette
that can be accessed from my N* CPM 2.2 boot diskette, but so far it's
"Can't Get There from Here..".
I'd try a comm program, but guess what I don't have on an N* diskette?
:-).
