- HS>I have some ISO 9660 CDs that are meant for use with non-PCs (e.g. Sun and

- Just because a disk is ISO9660 does not mean that it has a directory
- structure intended for your machine. MSCDEX will only allow you to read
- disks containing a MS-DOS directory structure.

- HS>Is there any software that will let me browse through such CDs?
-
- I'm not sure, but I doubt it (nothing is impossible; some things are
- just a lot more difficult).
