In debian (woody) I see the following packages:
hfsplus.........provides tools to access HFS+ volumes.
hfsutils........tools for reading and writing Macintosh volumes
hfsutils-tcltk..point and drool interface to hfsutils
I've never used any of these, but I assume they're available
on other linux distros and probably in the *bsd ports tree.
If you'll pass me an image of the disk I can burn a cd
to read on a Mac and create a .sit archive for you.
Which would have the beneficial side-effect of creating
an off-site backup in case you ever misplace the CD. :)
