yes, you can have a look at aminet hard/hack and past posts. You need to switch some wires on cable and add a diode. If its ESCOM by any chance, connecting PC floppy should be even simpler.
Better sorry than worry.

this onecould help, too.
I think you need to connect cathode to Select0 and anode to RDY on Amiga side.
you also need to cross dischange wire. just look at pinouts on  hwb
BTW, its PCs fault these hacks are needed, because those floppies don't comply with Shugart standard.
Better sorry than worry.

Here  are the instructions.
You could also connect cathode to /MOTEB (/MTRON) that works too, but this seems better solution in case you got other drives. Someone, please verify..

Detailed information is here
Better sorry than worry.
