The predominant format used on PCs is called "High Sierra", and is not
interchangeable with ISO9660.  CDTV does not be default support High
Sierra, but I understand there's a company making such a file system for
the Amiga, and they want it to work on CDTV too.

It may not be of nay benefit, though.  Thought you could then read PC High
Sierra disks, you still wouldn't be able to run the MS-DOS programs stored
on them that make the CD work.
