The AIX CD-ROM file system will allow you to access any CD-ROM via the
normal file system interfaces if the disk is in either ISO-9660 or
High Sierra format. Just mount the CD-ROM on some directory. If the
mount fails with the EFORMAT error, then the disk isn't in a format
recognized by the file system. Disks in other formats would only be
accessible via the device.
Enjoy,
