What are the contents of the test file? Does it say something about
this bieng a joliet CD? Adaptec EZ CD is garbage, it is only good at
making Joliet file system CD's, and Joliet is a M$ spec. TO be
compatable with anything else you need to make the ISO 9660 filesystem
on the CD, and in Adpatec EZ You are then limited to 8.3 filenames (I
can't find any support for Translation tables) or other "advanced"
features. There is a joliet kernel module that works, so you should
try that unless you want to switch CD burning software, but other
OS's may not have that so my recommendation is to dump the Adaptec
software.

I can imagine.

I've never seen a .os file. Do you mean .so? This is a shared,
probably ELF, library, similair to the DLL file in windows.
