I have seen a dual hfs (as in Macintosh)/whatever CD. I don't know how to
read the "other" directory. Maybe go through "man mount", search for "Mount
options for iso9660", and look at things like "norock" and "nojoliet".
Maybe those are broken, but Windows doesn't support them so it isn't
bothered.
