You'll have to find a r/w drive that still supports DOS and has appropriate drivers. (Good luck)

It would very likely be easier to network the computer, then transfer over the network.

Or even easier would probably be to pull the hard drive and slave it into another Windows-based computer, then use Windows to copy/move the files.

This is what I'd do.
10 minute job!

I think the 16-bit version only works with SCSI CDR drives.

Ughhh...slave the drive. Easiest by far.

I used to use FastLynx or LapLink to transfer files between computers over Serial or Parallel ports without harddrive swapout and disassembly.

Having something like this

is very handy if you have to deal with moving things around on HDD's.
