Type `mount' after mounting it and you'll get a list of all the
mounted disks, including type they're mounted as.  It probably will
say iso9660.

Also, check /var/log/kern.log and see if there's something like:

    Nov 17 20:11:31 psyche kernel: ISO9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A 

which indicates the RockRidge extensions.

There are some strange CD formats that show up differently on a Mac
than on other machines; they're sort of a dual format.  This might
confuse other CD-ROM drivers.  I don't know how to test this.  :-(
