- Did this ever work ?
- I was under the impression that Executor DOS used MSCDEX to access
- the CD-ROM, and if that is the case it is not going to let you
- see an HFS format Mac CD-ROM, simply because MSCDEX does not support
- that format.
-
- Under Executor/Linux you can mount Mac HFS CD-ROMs if you have the
- HFS File System module loaded.
