Is even the MS-Dos format incompatible?

You could try (On the dec):
PIP A:FOO.BAR=TTY:
and on the PC end:
COPY FOO.BAR COM1: (Or whatever the port is called...)

The thing to remember is that a Ctrl-Z must be sent as an EOF to get PIP to
close the file.

It would be simple to try to get the disks compatible, but if you can't
this should work.
