That's a great way to transfer files to retro PCs!  What kind of speed do you get using fastlynx?  I used Laplink but only a little bit and it's been decades, so I don't really recall the speed of it either.  Your setup sounds great for pulling the files you want from your collection to your retro PC, when you want the files.
