#Mac qustions
Actually the problem is the other way around. 🙂 Although Macs have always
been able to read ISO 9660 in an emulation mode. (( I was doing it on my MAC 5
years ago)), PC's can not read MAC disks. I'm also under the understanding that
Suns can't read MAC HFS disks either. SGIs can read them but doesn't
necessarily like them.
In the MAC file system, every file has two parts, the data and the reource
fork. The data fork contains data for the executable and the resource fork
contains the actual executable code. Some files may contain only data and
therefore have no executable code. Due to this file implementation, two
physical entries are necessary in each file directory, and the two files are
then linked by an associated file flag which makes them appear to the user as a
single logical file. Although this file system design is supported under
ISO9660, PCs and Suns get lost when trying to read forked data. To solve the
problem you simply master in a "Mixed Mode" dividing file systems into two
areas, MAC and PC.
