Try http://www.hotfiles.com/ searching for mac and disk. Here's a summary:

MacSEE v4.3
Read Macintosh disks on PC

TransMac v2.4u
Access Mac HFS disks

Mac-ette v3.01U
Read Macintosh disks on a PC

Mac-IN-Dos Plus for Win95
Read/write Mac files with PC

MacScuzzy
Read Apple Mac Media

MacCD
Read Mac CDs on a PC

Xchange for Windows 3.1
Read and write Mac files w/PC

Xchange for Windows 95/Windows NT
Read and write Mac files w/PC

AFAIK these are shareware, not freeware.
