Central Point makes a board called the Deluxe Option Board.  Placed in 
a DOS machine with a 3 1/2 inch drive it will format, copy, read, and
write Macintosh disks.  It lists for about $150 meaning it should be
available for about $105-110.  I don't know of any translators, however,
on the DOS side like MacLinkPlus.  In order words, the Deluxe Option
Board only allows you to move ASCII files back and forth.
