Just copy it as you normally would:  Format a 2nd disk, then copy one 
disk onto the other (if memory serves, it's been a long long time).

The one thing I do know for sure is that you will swap disks no less 
than 20 times making the copy.  After Finder is loaded, there's about 
40K free on a 128K system.  That's 10 operations of "read chunk"->"write 
chunk" right there.  So be patient; the machine is not intentionally 
torturing you.
