If you don't need the CD to have ProDos partitions, GS/OS already has
an HS.FST to enable reading files from a standard ISO9660.  It will
probably be missing the ProDos file attributes, so mainly useful for
text and archive files that don't rely on having a file type.  For
true ProDos partitions on the CD, I'll look around some notes I had
when I was working with SCSI and CDs.  I think I was able to make it
work with the Apple HS SCSI card, but not the RAMFast card.
