Actually, FILES-11 is the RSX filesystem (actually called FILES11A).
VMS uses FILES-11B which is also known as ODS-2 (on disk structure #2).
ISO9660 is very close to FILES11B in structure. I have a F11B document
somewhere that I could dig up. I've thought about writing a VFS module
for F11B (readonly though :).
