Is there some hardware somewhere that will allow you to use amiga floppy disk on your pc?

Yep, its called the Catweasel, which a new floppy controller that can r/w different disk formats including Amiga ones.
A software program called Disk2FDI requires 2 floppy drives to read Amiga disks and create FDI images.

Actually, you can do it with software, something previously though impossible.  Check out www.oldskool.org for Disk2FDI.
