There is a program named FastLynx that does file transfers through either
of the ports at high speed. The program has a very good front end for 
selecting files and directories to be copied. Unfortunately, I cannot
remember the name of the company who makes it, nor the exact speed of the
transfers. I used it only for PS/2 -> PS/2, but I know it was also used for
PC -> PC, but I don't know about PS/2 -> PC, although I see no reason why
there should be a problem. If you do any kind of mass copying frequently, or
have to install a common platform on a bunch of systems, I'd recommend it.
The best part is that once you select what is to be copied, you can just
let it run unattended.
