At the moment, you can access an RRD40 as a raw block device.
If you had one written to look like a Ultrix file system, you could
even mount it... It looks just like a disk.

There is a different question, which you may or may not be
asking, of how to read ISO9660 formatted CD-ROMS, and indeed,
4.0 does not have support to read disks in that format directly.
Things are going on here, but I don't know (or if I do, I could not admit)
to what or when.
