mcd-driver and joliet

Today I've found out that's impossible to mount a joliet-cdrom with the mcd-
driver (Kernel 2.1.56) on an old mitsumi double speed cdrom-drive (with his
own controller-card), neither Joliet-Level 1 nor Level 3:
> mount -t iso9660 /dev/mcd /mnt
mount: block device /dev/mcd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mcd,
or too many mounted file systems

On the other hand mcdx works fine :-)
Now is there any significant reason to use mcd instead of mcdx ?

Ps: Is it possible to use an old CPS SoundblasterPro4 instead of mitsumi's
proprietary controller card ?
