I'm interested in ordering the GNU CD-ROM that was just released, but
due to some articles in comp.sys.mips a while ago, I'm concerned that
my system (a MIPS MAGNUM 4000-PC50 running RISCos 5.0B) couldn't deal
with the format. Specifically, I read somewhere that the CD-ROM that
came with some (all?) MIPs systems is only for distributing their own
media and almost useless for other things.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Also, if anyone has any information
on incorporating an ISO-9660 filesystem into my kernel, that would also
be most appreciated (thus the Xpost to alt.cd-rom)!

Thank you kindly,

Brian
