For free? I doubt it. Linux has had to evolve to read disk formats
produced on other OSes - Windoze has never had to. (Hell, Mac's can read
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
something called MacDrive for reading Mac disks) or you might find a tool
in Cygwin that does what you want.
