  Is there any way to read Apple ProDos Disks on 
  an IBM PC computer?

Yes.  You need the "MatchPoint PC" card, from:
 
MicroSolutions
132 West Lincoln Highway
DeKalb, IL 60115
(815) 756-3411
 
The MatchPoint card will let you read and write Apple ProDOS, DOS
3.3, and CP/M disks.  It also comes with software to handle many
other CP/M formats.  It does no file conversions except for
converting between CR and CRLF for Apple and IBM text files. 
 
To convert AppleWorks files on the PC, you need a program called
"CrossWorks".  Version 2.x of CrossWorks works nicely with the
matchpoint card.  It will convert AppleWorks WP files to WordPerfect
and MS Works formats and it converts AW spreadsheet and database
files to MS Works format and perhaps some other formats too, like
Lotus 123 and dBASE.  Sorry, I don't have the name and address of
the CrossWorks makers handy, but it is available from mail order
places like Programs Plus.
