Once I had to process really much data from a Mac Performa from ca.
1993, and I did it this way:
I made an image of the whole hard drive (connecting it physically
to a Linux PC, and if I remember correctly, using an SCSI card and
the dd command).

I'm pretty sure my laptop doesn't have any SCSI card, and I don't
think there's any room to fit it in there even if I had the money
to buy one, so that method wouldn't work for me.

My best bet for transferring large files (300-500k each) from my
Mac to the laptop would probably be to buy a new diskette drive for
the laptop, if I had the money,

Your best bet would be to use the serial interfaces. Find, buy or
make a serial cable. Transfering 500KB at 112000 b/s takes about 45s.

With a serial connection, you will also be able to configure PPP over
it, and then share your Internet connection from the Mac, so you don't
need the modem in the laptop.
