Does that really help? I thought I tried one at 24X before, and it
more or less worked, but it errored out when reading the sets. (This
time, it gave a couple of esp0 timeouts, but pushed throught it.) The
CD-RW's already burn at 4X, tops. The Finder doesn't even see those.

 MD5 (mac68kcd.iso) = 4ed2b2cac68302950660703f19a86220

And now I've put an MD5 file in the same directory, since you asked
for it. ;-)

As I wrote in the README in the same directory, I used:

 mkisofs -R -hfs -probe --macbin -o mac68kcd.iso .

...assuming you're in the directory that contains "mac68k". With that,
there's a "mac68k" at the root of the CD-ROM, and the default path for
the "cdrom" option is correct.

This would be slightly better:

 mkisofs -r -hfs -probe --macbin -o mac68kcd.iso .

(The "-r" just fixes the owner and permissions.) The "-R" or "-r"
makes an ISO file system for NetBSD (and others); the "-hfs" makes it
look like an "HFS" volume to Mac OS. The "--macbin" is really cool --
it makes the MacBinary files double-clickable in the Finder.

Actually, I think the "-probe" thing doesn't really work, as the HTML
and text files in "mac68k" have no icon. I should create a file to use
with "-map" for them.

I couldn't believe we don't have scripts for this in the tree already,
but we don't seem to.
