Yes but...
I do it all the time but my IIgs has a Superdrive card and an Apple
1.44MB 3.5" drive. I use Ciderpress on a PC to create a 1.44MB ProDOS
disk.
If you only have 800KB 3.5" drives on your Apple II then you are out of
luck at present.
I think a neat circuit would be a microcontroller with a USB interface
driving a 3.5" drive in such a way that it can read/write/format 800KB
GCR diskettes. If it reports itself as a USB mass storage class device
then any USB aware PC operating system (Windows XP, Linux etc) would be
able to read and write Apple II diskettes.
