i don't think this is a limitation of executor at all.  we have a couple 
of Pinacle Micro magneto-optical drives (650 MB and 1.3 GB).  in my 
experience the DOS driver will not read Mac disks and the Mac driver 
(extension...) will not read DOS formatted disks.

if the computer cannot access the disk, then there's no way for executor 
to get to it either.
