SHH Systeme makes a controller, the BlueDisk, that does
this already.  You can run ProDOS off it, but it won't read
DD disks from regular Apple drives.  It will read HD disks from
a SuperDrive.  Check Nathan's FAQ or the FAQs on Ground
for information on contacting SHH Systeme.

There is a program that lets PC drives connected in this
way read MS-DOS disks.
