Has anyone actually verified that the by only using standard FSTs
the GS can access MsDos CdRoms? We're talking about MsDos CDs here,
_NOT_ ISO 9660 or High Sierra. There was a discussion awhile ago
on this which never seemed to resolve the issue.

Does anyone actually _have_ an MsDos CD? I've discovered that many
9660 CDs meant for the MsDos market don't carry the 9660 logo since
the MsDos world rarely cares about advertising cross-platform
portability.
