Did this ever work ?
I was under the impression that Executor DOS used MSCDEX to access
the CD-ROM, and if that is the case it is not going to let you
see an HFS format Mac CD-ROM, simply because MSCDEX does not support
that format.

Under Executor/Linux you can mount Mac HFS CD-ROMs if you have the 
HFS File System module loaded.
