Dave,
Being an aging newbie that has struggled through CP/M, DOS 1-infinity, Polyforth, way too many assembly codes, Fortran, Cobal, C and now Linux I find that it all blurs. I would be in full support of your project. I've been trying to figure out what ISO actually stands for - knowing that it is an Image that's burnable - but whats the O?
ISO is not an image that is burnable; it is the "International Organization for Standardization."
But ISO standard ISO 9660:1988 entitled "Information processing -- Volume and file structure of CD-ROM for information interchange" does define the order of bits on a CD-ROM and so an image of an ISO 9660:1988 compliant media is called an ISO.
