Um.. guess again.  ISO 9660 is THE standard for how the data is written 
to the disk. It has nothing to do with the file system at all.

and what MS-DOS disks wont the GS read?  I just got one in the mail
today and have to trouble.  Sure, I can't run MS-DOS programs or
Window Programs, but I can sure as heck read the text and data files
withh a modicum of effort.
