copying off an CD burned on a mac long ago...

I have some old HFS formatted burned CDs burning in toast on a classic mac. A friend needs his stuff moved off these backups onto his NAS but his modern mac cannot read these CDs. I can mount them in linux manually but the filenames have illegal characters so I cannot copy them over to anything without losing like half of them.

Have you tried creating a period-accurate Mac VM, allowing passthrough of the drive peripheral to the VM, then copying the data from the VM to something like a Mac format flashdrive?

Then what would read that flash drive? That doesn’t solve the problem.

I was under the impression that the barrier for the friend’s modern mac being unable to read the drive was due to the lack of hardware interface. Is there a greater barrier than that for the data?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
