We have two Macs at work with attached CD-ROM drives (an Apple and a
Toshiba).  Both Macs have no problems reading Mac CDs (such as Phil &
Dave's ...) or playing audio CDs.  However, neither Mac seems able to
read a non-Mac CD.  I borrowed "The Microsoft Bookshelf" CD from a
Netware server and tried it with both Macs.  In both cases, I got "This
is not a Macintosh disk ...  initialize?" dialog box.  I had GUESSED
that a disk from Microsoft would be in ISO/High Sierra format, but I
don't know this for sure.  Both systems have the latest CD software from
apple.com FTP site. 

What am I doing wrong? Has anyone successfully used ISO/High Sierra CDs
on their Mac? If so, please suggest a title or two that I could try. 

Apple CD manual says the message I'm getting indicates the CD is not Mac
or ISO/High Sierra format.  What type IS "The Microsoft Bookshelf"?

This is cross posted to comp.sys.ibm.pc, because I thought a PCer might
be more familiar with Microsoft CDs.

Thanks in advance,
	Barry
