    There are at least 2 solutions to this.

 1) If the MAC disks are the newer high density type then the PC should be
     able to read them directly.

 2) There is a board/software by MicroSolutions called either MatchMaker
     or MatchPoint. One of these allows a PC to access an Apple II disk,
     the other allows reading/writing of MAC disks, but I can't remeber
     which is which.

 Hope this helps.
