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.

How to I copy these files off the CDs?

    I have been plying with hcopy but its giving me backtalk over syntax. It’s whining about what it find s being directories. Yea, that why I passed -r to copy recursively. it just responds by saying thats a directory and not copying anything.

    I cant figure out what iocharset is wants for normal mount options so it can copy some things that way but not others.

    Also, again, this is HFS, not HFS+.
