Sure, if you have a Mac/Apple II disk (floppy, CD-ROM or hard drive) readable using your current PC hardware, you can use it with a suitable emulator, or read it and create a "disk image" that you can later use with your emulator. The problem is, as allways, the hardware compatibility.
If you don't have hardware or software suitable of reading Apple disks, you can allways transfer the data over a serial line, connecting the Super Serial Card or the printer port of your Apple II to a COM port in the PC. I have written myself a couple programs (one for the Apple II side and the other for the PC side) to make one-way transfers of disk images (Apple to PC). It currently only works with 5.25" disks (because that's the only kind of drive my Apple IIs have), but I think it would pretty easy to modify it to transfer at least one-sided 400 Kb disks. The Apple part is a small Applesoft program you can type in a few minutes, and the PC part is a Win16 program (works on Windows 3.0 and later, perhaps in Windows 2.0, but who cares? ;-) ).
