Or is that in some sort of a : clever Sun specific format? Unfortunately, most Sun CDs are the same format as a Sun hard disk, 4.2 BSD. This makes it unreadable on the NeXT. Sun's original CDrom demo disk was in a "standard" format and can be read on the NeXT and even a Mac. Paul Verket (NeXTmail ok)
