FloppyWorks from Digital Instrimentation Technology allows you to read
files off of a Mac Disk.  It's avalible from NeXTConnection for $185.
You could also save the files onto a DOS disk using AccessPC which lists
for $99.  I've used both ways and they both have advantages.  With
FloppyWorks you can read any random Mac disk.  With AccessPC all that
you have to do is save the file on to the appropriate disk, put it in
the NeXT, and read the file.  Of course, I am biased a bit in the favor
of AccessPC...

Any opinions here are mine.  My employers are kind enough not to read them.
