There is only one product that I know of that will allow you to read
Apple disks on an IBM.  It is a hardware and software solution and 
works very well.  The product is called MatchPoint from Micro Solutions.
It contains a board that goes betweeen your controller and drive and
then you run some special programs that give you resident commands
for initing, and working with Apple disks.  The board runs a little
over $100.  I have found that it is really only possible to move 
ASCII text files since there are no conversion programs for translating
Apple II wordprocessing or databases etc.  The only formats that will
move across well are DIF, WordPerfect and ASCII.

If your friend needs a few moved quickly, I do conversions for $15
a disk.  Email me if you need more info.
