As of 1.1 it is possible for A/UX to access the CD-ROM.  Remember that A/UX
currently can only access Macintosh file systems via hfx or mfs and can't
directly interpret high sierra.  What this means is that you can either
interpret whatever file system is out there yourself, or, if it's an A/UX
file system, you can mount it and use it like any other read-only drive.
