Hi Claude,
Do you know if any CD-ROM is being recognized by the system,
including Mac? Try downloading an extension called 'Joliet Volume
Access' from the below URL. It adds quite a bit of functionality
over Apple's ISO9660 support and may solve your problem. It works
under System 7.5 reportedly.

Hope this helps.
