How to mount a DOS hard disk into a Mac?

I want to move some files from a DOS hard disk into my Mac.
My Mac (G3 400) doesn't have a serial port, and the old PC doesn't have a NIC. I can't cable the machines together to move the files.
I pulled the PC hard disk, and installed in into my Mac IDE bus. Drive Setup recoginizes that the drive is there, but it wants to initialize it. I don't want to erase it; I want my Mac to read the files from it.
