I picked up a file called Macette.exe from sumex-aim.stanford.edu -- yes, it 
is a PC program!! :-)

Macette.exe reads and writes HD Mac disks in a PC HD drive.  It is shareware 
-- there is a shareware screen that comes up.

For 400K/800K mac disks, you need a hardware modification like Central Point's 
Copy II PC Option Board.
