bootable

9660 now has multiple improved variations for DOS, Windows 95,
and Macintosh. This format has good back-up capabilities for
Macintosh when used as a multisession CD. Also, since most
Macintosh computers are able to read Windows CDs, this is a great
method to store cross platform material such as JPEGs, HTML, or
even basic word processing and graphic files.
