[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari ST CD-ROM - what format is this beast? Is there a standard?

     Hi. I've got a friend who has a CD-ROM disk that he knows was
used in a CD-ROM player attached to an Atari 1040ST. My question:
is there a standard format for such things? He doesn't have an Atari
but has an interest in reading this CD-ROM disk and others of the same
series. He would like to get an Intel box reading it, as he can get
the type of CD-ROM player used on PCs for very cheaply.
     We can't ask a dealer, as there isn't one left in the state. (The
last one went bankrupt about six months ago; local Atari ST owners
tell me that they now must drive to Columbus, which is about four
hours away.) So if someone who knows about this could mail me information,
on Atari ST CD-ROM disk format, I'd really appreciate it.
     Thanks a lot in advance. Oh, note: I've set the Followup-To tag
to post directly to my mailbox.
