In my experience it's just a filesystem issue. I've mounted and read
both CD's and CD images that are not ISO9660 format. SGI's EFS install
CDs are a good example.
By the way, dd will make a valid image of almost any data CD or DVD,
whether the filesystem is supported or not. You might have to juggle
the block size, but that's the only issue I've ever had. I've
successfully copied VMS CDs, AIX install and mkCD disks, Mac HFS CDs, etc.

At present, I am using Windows 98 SE (I realize
that this
is badly off topic, but I can't successfully use anything
else with E11 to run my RT-11 programs). Does anyone
have any success with a CD emulation program that will
allow me to use a CD image file (an exact duplicate of
the ISO image file of the CD which was used to burn the
CD in the first place)? Are there both free and commercial
versions? What are the advantages and the disadvantages?
(Both free)
Linux: mount -o loop,ro /path/to/cdimage.iso /mntpoint
Or point the emulator at a 'dd' image file of the CD.
Windows: DAEMON Tools.
The Linux command only tends to work with CD Images that are in ISO
format's, and contain a filesystem type Linux recognizes.
