He might've meant "ISO" in the "CD image" sense, not "ISO-9660" sense.  I
just fixed a bug in my partition-table creator and added HFS-partition
support.  Between my IIGS, Mac, and Linux server (all networked), I made a
high-density boot floppy with Finder, Teach, ADU, the HFS FST patcher, and
SCSI disk and CD-ROM support.  By making that the first partition in the CD
image, I now have a bootable CD that shows all seven of the System 6.0.1
disks when it's inserted (only System.Disk has been changed, the others are
as they were downloaded from Apple).

If anyone's interested, the CD image (less than 3 MB) is available here:

http://alfter.us/files/sys601.zip

Extract sys601.iso from it and burn with your favorite app (Nero works
well).

The updated partition-table generator will be posted to comp.binaries.apple2
momentarily.
