  You can read High Sierra or ISO 9660 disks (I'm not sure they're
different) as a read only filesystem. The first time you load the ROM
you have to create a head with a "cdmkfs" command. Then you can mount
and dismount (using cdXXXX commands).

  My recollection is that the price was quite reasonable. Their
controller can support up to seven heads, if you are considering a
documentation server (which I was).
