- i don't think this is a limitation of executor at all. we have a couple
- of Pinacle Micro magneto-optical drives (650 MB and 1.3 GB). in my
- experience the DOS driver will not read Mac disks and the Mac driver
- (extension...) will not read DOS formatted disks.
-
- if the computer cannot access the disk, then there's no way for executor
- to get to it either.
