Here goes :)

We're looking to create CD-ROMs for both MACs and PC's.  That is, the
MAC CDs should be readable on all mac systems, and the PC CDs on PCs.

For the PC cd-roms, the information which will go into these CDs will
be taken from PC formated SCSI hard drives, Syquests or PC floppies.
The CD-ROM thus created will be in ISO 9960 format.

For the MAC cd-roms, same thing but from MAC formatted drives/disks.
The MAC CD-ROMs should be in HFS format.

We aren't completely sure we can create both these kind of CDs from
only one machine.  The EASY CD PRO software lets one read mac SCSI 
partitions from a PC, but it won't let you choose which files you want
on your CD-ROM.

On the MAC, we don't know.  Is it possible for the mac to read SCSI
drives and syquests and floppies that come from PC's?  We heard that
QuickTOPiX software allows one to create CD-ROMS for PC's, but we
need to know if on a MAC we can manipulate PC files from PC media
on the computer before putting it on a PC readable CD-ROM.

Or, should we just get 2 pre-mastering packages, one for a PC and
one for a MAC, and move the CD-recorder from PC to MAC depending
on which type of disk we need to make?

Thanks..
