Can't read MRW/InCD/EasyWrite format on OS X

I've tried searching all over the internet for some kind of program or extension to be able read Mount Rainier/MRW/InCD/EasyWrite CDs... but have had no such luck. 😟

Several years ago, I backed up a bunch of files onto several InCD formatted discs in Windows XP, and now need access to those files. All OS X (Tiger) recognizes is the ISO9660 session with a readme and a copy of this program ( http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/InCD4Reader.html) to install support for InCD discs.. for Windows only ⚠. Have tried Disk Utility as well, can't seem to access them that way either.

Any ideas on how to access these files on OS X?

ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

InCD's, like DirectCD's are actually formatted as UDF's (Universal Disk Format). The software it's trying to install is a 'UDF volume reader'. The verison on the CD's is obviously for Windows and will not work on your Mac. On your main hard drive in System>Library>Extensions there should be a file named UDF.kext. I believe it's something like verison 1.02 which will not help with your CD's. There is a newer verison available (1.05) which will work, however you'll need to purchase Toast from Roxio in order to retreive the data off of these disks.
