ISO 9660, “Information Processing – Volume and File Structure of CD-Rom for Information Interchange,” has just been modified by the release of a new Amendment 1. The new update is available from Document Center now. ISO 9660 specifies the volume and file structure of compact read-only optical disks (CD-ROM) for the information interchange between information processing systems.
ISO 9660 was originally released as the ECMA 119, with the same title. ISO adopted the 2nd Edition of the ECMA document in 1988. This is the first modification of the standard since that time. The new amendment is intended to bring harmonization between ISO 9660:1988 and widely used “Joliet Specification.” It is 18 pages in length, so the update is extensive.
Changes to ISO 9660 center on the addition of an Enhanced Volume Descriptor. You’ll be able to find a complete list of how this addition modifies the document in the 4-page Annex B.
