Library of Congress now says that there is no data on the disk.

The great thing about ISO-9660 is, even if you can't read the extensions, you
can still read the disc.

You're limited to 8.3 filenames (because some fool didn't understand what
"32 characters" meant), 5 deep directories, and I forget how many
files per directory.

But all those restrictions have to be followed; the extensions allow you to
rename files and make deeper directories (and add user, group and permission
masks, symlinks and so on).

For fun, on Linux mount with "norock,nojoliet,map=off" to see the raw
9660 layout. Memories of the 90s....
