CDROM filesystem

Hi,

The latest version of the SCSI/CAM driver has preliminary support for
CDROM drives, so its time to start thinking about a CDROM filesystem
for VSTa. Here are some issues:

        1) The most popular CDFS format seems to be based on
        the High Sierra/ISO 9660 specification. Is this spec.
        available electronically, or is it necessary to get
        hardcopy from someplace like Global Engineering?

        2) Does anyone know of a CDFS that can be ported to VSTa?

        3) There are some similarities between the High Sierra
        filesystems and the DOS FAT filesystem. Would it be
        reasonable to try to modify the DOS server to support
        High Sierra-like filesystems?

It looks like writing/porting a CDFS to VSTa would make an entertaining
project. Anyone interested in taking it on?

                                        Regards,
                                        Mike Larson
