there is a shareware program called "TransMac" for Windows that reads Mac
formatted disks and drives. it is available as a 30 or so day free trial. i
have used it before to read a Mac-formatted IDE drive mounted in a USB
enclosure. it should read SCSI drives just fine.

i believe it offers an option to make a full image of the drive, that could
be at the very least mounted under OS X's Disk Utility. but i don't remember
the exact details of this. if it does, you could use the PC to make an image
backup of the drive that could be moved over to a Mac so to preserve the
Mac-specific resource forks.

it should also let you simply copy the files directly onto the Windows
machine.
