You can read Mac disks directly as long as they are high density (super
drive) formatted disks.  I have a program called Mac-in-DOS which works
great...even under OS/2.  I use it all the time.  

As far as Apple copyrights go, the Atari ST and Amiga both have full
function Mac emulators that are just about 100% compatible to a Mac Plus.
They actually reqire you to plug real Mac 128k roms into them.  There is
no reason something similar couldn't be done with a PC (other than the
fact that ther PC uses an Intel processor while the above mentioned machines
all use Motorolas).  But stay tuned...I have heard something interesting
along these lines from Gadgets by Small, Inc.
