Can I read Amiga disks on PC?

A changing area for the PC. In previous releases, I said that you couldn't but apparently, you can. The CatWeazel floppy drive controller that allows the connection of cheap PC disk drives also allegedly allows the PC to read Amiga disks because it is based upon a completely different design than the restrictive PC design. It is also possible to transfer files by some kind of parallel connection, such as "Network PC" or use CrossDos, which comes as standard in Workbench 3.x. You cannot read Amiga disks with the standard PC disk interface. It just isn't flexible enough.
