I'm curious on the steps on creating/burning a CD on a Windoze machine

What I want to do is create/burn a CD on the Windoze machine with IIgs
software.
Once the CD is done I then want to run it or access it on my IIgs machine
which has an internal scsi-cdrom drive.

What format should I be using so that the CD is recognized on the IIgs and
the software is executable... remember I only have access on burning the CD
on a Windoze computer.

Thanks for any help in advance.

If you don't need the CD to have ProDos partitions, GS/OS already has
an HS.FST to enable reading files from a standard ISO9660.  It will
probably be missing the ProDos file attributes, so mainly useful for
text and archive files that don't rely on having a file type.  For
true ProDos partitions on the CD, I'll look around some notes I had
when I was working with SCSI and CDs.  I think I was able to make it
work with the Apple HS SCSI card, but not the RAMFast card.

Hmmmm
I just managed to burn a Golden Orchard CD. I could get an old Mac to read it, but not my GS with a RAMFast card. Never thought the problem could be with the RAMFast... but Maybe?

(Ended up copying the files to several Zip disks to transfer them to the GS.)
