For free? I doubt it. Linux has had to evolve to read disk formats |
| 23 |
produced on other OSes - Windoze has never had to. (Hell, Mac's can read |
| 24 |
PC disks but Ive never seen a PC read a Mac disk out of the box). |

There might be commercial software that does this (I seem to remember |
| 27 |
something called MacDrive for reading Mac disks) or you might find a tool |
| 28 |
in Cygwin that does what you want. |
