When I mount the Jewel of the Matrix CR-ROM, the Workspace refuses to show me any of the files. When I look at it from a terminal window, I can get directory listings, but they are messed up: There is no ".." directory, instead there is a directory named "?". The rest of the files in a directory are all lowercase, and truncated after a dozen characters or so. The fun part is, if I try to read any of the files in any way, I get a system panic. At first I though it was just a messed up disk (though I found this hard to believe). Then I tried mounting an old Next Demonstration Software CD-ROM (Q3 1991), and as soon as the system mounted it, I got a system panic. I am able to read my 3.0 and Educational Software Sampler CD-ROMs just fine, so I am inclined to believe it has something to do with the format of the other two disks (Rock-Ridge extensions perhaps?). Has anyone else been having trouble reading specific CD-ROMs? Has anyone else ordered the Jewel of the Matrix CD-ROM, and were you able to read it? I'd really love to get this working so I can remove all the stuff on my HD which overlaps with the Jewel o' the Matrix. -Jon ferguson@world.std.com "If Casper is a friendly ghost, where did they bury the body of Casper the Friendly Dead Kid?"
