   ISO CD image

   For PDOS-generic, I will be doing BIOS calls to a special   
   BIOS that supports fread/fseek-like calls, and treats a   
   hard disk, or hard disk image, as just a flat file.   
      
   It occurred to me that I should be able to point the BIOS   
   to an ISO CD image and allow the OS to fread/fseek over   
   that too.   
      
   Is that something that a BIOS would be technically capable   
   of doing dynamically with a real CDROM?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
