 Consider using the program STUFFIT by ray lau
(sic), it is the equivalent of zip/lzh/etc in the
Mac world.  It'll compress the data & resource fork
into 1 file.  You obviously need StuffIt on your
AMAX mac disk, but that is fairly easily obtainable
(just download it using ZTerm or somesuch).
 
I personally xfer over the serial cable whatever
files i need.  At a baud rate of 115k it goes by
quite fast!  :)  You can fool around with copying
disks (couple ways to do this... stuffit, apple file
exchange, writing a msdos disk) but I think the time
saved will be, at most, 2-4 minutes per disk
transferred.
