If you have the ISO CD format drivers and the CD is in ISO format you should be able to read it anywhere. A product engineer mentioned to me that with the INFOserver based cd readers (which just serve blocks) and a reference port (Generic UNIX port). YOu should be able to read a SUN internal format CD once you install the necessary code.
