The same company who writes ][ in a Mac also makes a program called ][ in a
PC.  Some of its features:
  - Transfer apple files from 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 disks
  - Converts AppleWorks files to text files
  - Supports ProDOS, DOS 3.3 and Apple Pascal
  - Full Color!
  - Sets up a 128K Apple //e with color High Res graphics, joy stick
support, serial and parallel output, clock, hard disk support, 80 column
support.

The Bad News:
  - REQUIRES IBM PS/2 or IBM PC/AT with VGA adn 3 1/2" disk drive.
  - Access to an Apple II with serial card for transferring sofware.
  - Disk access is simulated with serial transfer.

Still interested?

I talked to the guy who owns the company.  Seems like the person who wrote
][ in a Mac left the company years ago so its not going to be updated. 
Maybe Quality should make a deal with him.  I'd be nice to see the pick up
both of those programs and spiff them up to modern standards.

They're a hard company to find as they don't normally advertise their ][
programs anymore.  I found them in the Macintosh Product Registry:  A
quarterly that catalogs just about every Mac program and periphial out
there.   6200 products last count.  (Compare that to the hundred or so you
normally see in a mail order catalog)
