There are CD-ROMs for the Apple II that appear as ProDOS volumes. InterChange,
the group of user groups that just put on the National Apple User Group
Conference, have created a CD-ROM for Apple II owners.

Also, Apple's "Phil & Dave's Excellent CD" has an Apple II partition which has
some great stuff for technical people and other agressive end-users.

Unfortunately, not many CD-ROM publishers are using the ISO/High Sierra format
for there CD-ROMs. Even if they did, you would still need an application that
could deal with the data. While an encyclopedia is available in ISO/High
Sierra format, an application that can deal with the index and allow queries
to the data would be needed.
