What you're talking about is a "shared storage hybrid". Most hybrid
premastering systems today implement this. To make it work, your HFS volume
must be defragmented, so that all the files are contiguous. The ISO path table
then points into the HFS part of the CD for all shared files. Hard as hell to
code, but works like a champ. We offer hybrid systems for writing to single,
double, and (soon) quadruple speed recorders.
