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.
