The “Winchester Disc Filing System USERGUIDE” http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org ... stemUG.pdf mentions, on p98, the BACKUP utility:
I don’t have a copy of the program and have never used it, but mention it as it appears to fit the bill and others might have a copy for you to give it a try.
Edit: there are also split and join utilities on MDFS at https://mdfs.net/Software/FileTools/ and I suppose you might be able to create a heap of split up files of, say, 600 Kb then copy each chunk onto a ADFS disc image on your Gotek, copy them all off at the other end and rejoin them on your Pi1Mhz system.
And see if you can find a checksum utility, so you know source and target files are the same!
Edit2: Zip (compress) your large file (is it MENUS0?) on your SCSI disc first (zip programs are on mdfs.met) Should make for far fewer floppies.
This is a BASIC program, so not the *BACKUP already tried or the one supplied with ADFS floppies.BACKUP
Purpose
Enables data to be backed up from the Winchester to FM floppy discs (or vice versa).
BACKUP provides several facilities not provided by COPYF, including the ability to back up very large files, ie files too large to be stored on a single floppy disc.
