Got a network card in the Q40?
You could try to somehow run m68k Linux on the box (probably on a free
partition?), and use uQLX to read files and transfer to Windows/QPC
(using the uQLX and QPC TCP/IP stack). 

Another one (even more speculative)
I'm absolutely not sure whether dumping a Q40 HD partition using m68k
Linux dd would somehow end up with a readable QXL image? On second
thought, I doubt that.

Another option already mentioned (and perhaps with the highest
probability to actually work) would be sernet.

Just wildly speculating.

Cheers,
Tobias
