I would like to be able to use a CD which is available only on PC format. It is a Bible research CD which includes several versions, commentaries, dictionaries, etc. If I buy a conversion program, will I be able to use it with my MAC IIsi?

Ed, The normal answer is "yes." Soft-PC at least works fine with CDROMs. However it is always possible for someone to create a patholigical disk that breaks the wrong rule. And if this is the Bible Library from the DAK bundle, I'd be cautious. It is a memory hog: as an agnostic I wasn't about to redo my system to be able to run it. Frank

I think you're going to have to access it via SoftPC or something similar. The SoftAT that I bought indicated that it included drivers that would let the Mac CDROM drive look like a PC one, but I haven't tried them.
