Yes, get Sydex' 22DISK (shareware), or MicroSolutions' UniForm-PC
(commercial), or Spectre Technologies' Media Master (commercial).  Assuming a
5.25" drive on the 386, you should be able to read the CP/M disks directly.  I
confess that I am not sure about Media Master and the Phillips, though.

Good luck.
