Simply put, no.

You can however do a disk swap with a paperclip after you get to your
green brick screen. Then a CDR will read fine. I trust you won't abuse
this information, even if it is common knowledge to most everyone.

It might be easier, and faster, just to use an AR, a Comms link, and ARS
for your file stuff.
