Yes, if you mean the physical format.  We will be supplying software that
can read disks with the ISO9660 standard directory layout, etc.  We MAY
supply software that can read High Sierra disks.

As to actually being able to use the info on those disks, that depends on
its format.  Often the format requires a specific program, which quite likely
will not have been ported to the SGI platform.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
