Ok...I can mount my DVD drive just fine with any other disc just by typing # mount /dev/hdc /cd1

I want to play The Dig in ScummVM, but it's a Macintosh CD-ROM. Attempting to mount it:

root@0[royall]# mount /dev/hdc /cd1
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

So how do I mount this Mac CD?

Thanks for reading.

Do MAC cd's also use iso9660?

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cd1

Data cd?

No, I think they use a different filesystem. I remember putting a mac cd into my windows computer and it didn't work.

All I know for Mac is hfs and hfsplus.

From these G4L search results for 'mac cdrom filesystem' (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=mac+cdrom+filesystem&btnG=Google+Search), it does look like either hfs or hfsplus should work.

mount -t hfs /dev/hdc /cd1
or
mount -t hfsplus /dev/hdc /cd1

Hmmm...now I can mount it, but I can't copy files from it. There's this "The Dig Data" file that's about 600 megs and I need to copy it to my hard drive for it to be useful. Tried dragging and dropping in Konqueror, but it gives an error. What's going on now?

How would we know? :)

What error?

Why not try copying via commandline?

cp /cd1/<filename> /destination/path

Something about having a space in the filename seemed to cause a problem with cp. Midnight Commander did it ok, though.
