Can someone please point me in the right direction to find the difference between these two standards? Why? Well I have a CD-ROM that's been recorded (pressed?) in ISO 9660 format and a CD-ROM drive and driver that understands High Sierra (ie Microsoft's CD-ROM Extensions on a PClone). I need to have a look at the data on the ISO 9660 disc and had assumed that the MS CD-ROM Ext drivers would do it, but I'm obviously wrong. Any help appreciated.

I don't think anybody's sat down and written this up for public consumption. Basically, High Sierra differs from ISO 9660 in the volume descriptors, path table, and directory records (i.e. most of what the standard and proposed standard define.) >Why?

Update to a later version of the CD-ROM extensions. I don't know the version number, but I know that Microsoft currently supports both High Sierra and ISO 9660. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
