Has anyone created a cd on Windoze machine (windows XP/7) to be used on an Apple IIgs? I've got a scsi cd-rom drive attached to an Apple IIgs, but would like to make a CD with iigs software on a windoze machine, but would like it to be used on a IIgs, and readable. Is it possible to do this? Where would I start? What software to use?
If you have the FST for ISO 9660 installed in your GS OS system folder on the IIgs's boot disk, then you can write disks on your Windows computer using ISO 9660 format.
Personally I have the HFS FST installed under GS OS and use an older Mac to burn HFS format CDs because the ISO 9660 format disks will display very short files names, whereas HFS format CDs can have file names up to 15 characters long, which are easier to make sense of when you're rooting through the disk some umpteen months later.
