If a commodore 1571 drive can read your disk you can connect the 1571 direct
to a pc via parrallel port and use software to dump the files directly to
the pc. Converting the database to access might be a problem if the format
isnt standard.

I have used this type of cable to copy files from a pc to a 1541 drive and
back , supports 1571 (double sided 5.25)
