There is also ISO 9660, the International and Official incarnation of Hi Sierra. The two are very similar, but I forget if they are different enough to require seperate FST's. >The GS wil support ONLY ProDOS formatted CD's, unless you happen to have >an HFS FST, or a Hi Sierra FST (FST=File System Translator).
