Yes. Well, almost. For best results, format the disk on the IBM in 720K
format. The Atari and the IBM have slightly different ways of storing
the directory (among other things.) 

Also, do *NOT* (I have) try to use "alternative format" (i.e. Twister,
etc.) Atari ST disks on the IBM, they do weird things.
