You can use floppies to transport files to G5 using a USB-Floppy Drive-IF your Drive on Performa has 1,44MB.
You can use serial Printers on Performa 200(ImagewriterII,Stylewriter 1200,others).
You can try to get an LocalTalk-Ethernet-Hardware bridge to connect via LocalTalk/Filesharing-but is problematic with OSX.
Post back if you need more info.

Addendum
Instead of a Hardware-Bridge you can try to get a cheap PowerMac with built in Ethernet and OS9.x,connect to that with LocalTalk(serial printer cable needed,or PhoneNet Connectors).
Afterwards you can connect via Ethernet to the G5.
