In my searches of the newsgroups I found the following information. It 
might give you a starting point to look.

-Micro Solutions, DeKlab Illinios makes two cards which would be of
-interest. Their names are MatchPoint and MatchMaker. I can't remember
-which is which. I've installed both into an IBM PC. One allows you to
-connect a standard Mac drive to a port on the card, and you can then
-read and write mac disks on a pc. The other is a card that sits
-between the original floppy drive card and the floppy drive, and
-allows the floppy to read and write Apple II disks.

Also this was found:

-Micro Solutions, Inc. 132 West Lincoln Hwy., DeKalb, IL 60115 (815) 756-
3411

Also found a website for that company at:
http://www.micro-solutions.com/index.html

The above text was found from messages dated 1990 but you never know if you 
contact the above company they might still have the software you need 
floating around their archives. Can't hurt to ask.

Who knows maybe this additional information will jog someone's memory here 
and they will have what you need or know where to get it.

Hope this helps.
