What you are looking for is Uniform, from Micro Solutions (815-756-3411).  It
can be bought alone, or bundled with a board called the MatchPoint, which 
installs between your floppy controller and your drives, allowing one of them
to read/write/format crApple II disks.  They support a lot of formats, in 
8, 5 1/4, and 3 1/2, depending on what hardware you have.  A notable format
that is not supported (at least in the version I have) is the TI 99.

They also make a board called the MatchMaker, which is completely separate,
and interfaced to an external Mac drive.  I have no experience with this 
setup.  Central Point's Deluxe Option Board can supposedly be installed in
the same manner as the MatchPoint, to allow the PC's 3 1/2" drive to handle
Mac disks, without requiring a separate drive.  Whether the MatchPoint and
the Deluxe Option Board could coexist in the same system is anybody's guess.
