Excuse me if this is a FAQ, but I was wondering whether I can 
use PC-specific CD-ROMS (that is, ones with PC search software) 
on my NeXT if I get a copy of the PC-emulator.

Thanks in advance,

the NeXT cdrom drive is ISO-9660 compliant, so you can physically read
the files certainly.  I'm pretty sure that if you set up the mounted
disk as an FSA drive withing soft-PC that it would work fine.
