First, I'll admit I didn't look too deeply into this (just browsed through Aminet) but is there a way for the Amiga to read Atari ST floppy disks?  I figure if they're a weird format, there really isn't much point, but an Atari ST formatted disk with just text files on it?  

I seem to recall that most of the Atari ST disks were formatted the same way DOS ones were, but I know sometimes you could tweak track / sector amounts to make them hold more.

Unfortunately I don't have a working monitor for my STs, so the only system I currently have set up and working with a Floppy drive is my Amiga 4000d.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried OmniFlop for Windows? I use it to read Acorn disks. According to the features list it handles various Atari formats:
