Has anyone shared CD-ROMs between different machines, for example
Mac and PC, or Mac and Unix? Is it possible? What I have in mind
is coupling a CD-ROM player somehow in a network so that it can be shared
between different machines. To be more specific, I have thought of 
connecting the player to a Unix machine and trying to use it from a
Mac via NFS, but I don't know if you can mount a Mac CD-ROM onto
a Unix system, or whether a Mac will treat an NFS disc as a CD-ROM.
I am open to other suggestions. Basically we don't want to have to
buy two CD-ROM players.
