Thanks James, it didn't actually occur to me to search for Maple 9.5...
:-S

In any case, should this be considered a bug? When there a multiple
filesystems on a CD, should the iso9660 fs be automatically selected as
the one to mount automatically?

It would be nice to at least have mount notice you of this:

"This media has several filesystems available: hfs, iso9660, xxx.
Automatically mounting hfs."

I guess hybrid cd's aren't all too common, so maybe this is much ado
about nothing.... :)
