Linux can read Apple filesystems.  Linux can read Amiga filesystems.
Linux can read myriad other UNIX filesystems.

I would almost issue that challenge that my Linux box can read any
format you can muster, give the hardware is available.  If nothing
else, you could cat it through /usr/bin/strings and get something
useful out of it...

When one of our clients sent us a bunch of mysterious files, I turned
to my Linux box to figure out what they were.  They were Pagemaker5
files for the Mac platform, sent over the internet, then stored on a
MS network share.

There wasn't much I could /do/ with the files, aside from pull out
the raw text, but at least I could have done that...
