I do have a program that lets you read 720K quad floppies on an IBM's
1.2M drive - destructively.  You can't use them for Z's anymore.  You
could rewrite it to restore the disk, however.

Kermit would be my choice, but I prefer to arc (zip?) things
before kermiting, as kermit uses only 70% of bandwidth.  I've
seen references for programs that make kermit scripts to
transfer whole disks.  You should be able to do 38.4Kbaud
on both the Z and a clone.
