Yes, ISO9660/High Sierra is the standard for CD-ROMs. E.g. the Sun CD-ROM "player" (it *has* an audio output) plus SunOS SW can deal with them. Would be interesting to try the CD-ROM on it. Any clue if the CD-ROM is offered *without* the player anywhere ? -- | lchristoph@Sun.COM (Internet) | Disclaimer: | | ...!unido!sunmuc!lupe (German EUNet, "bang") | My employer has a | | lupe@sunmuc.UUCP (German EUNet, domain) | non-exclusive license | | ...!suninfo!lchristoph (Sun Germany customers) | to my opinion. |
