Steven,

I could have sworn that there were released (in which case I would have d/l'd them)
Mac READ drivers (a la FAT32.IFS or NTFS.IFS) for DOS as well as one for OS/2. If my
memory is correct, this would have been some years ago. They might have been beta
drivers whose development did not continue. Even if they worked (then) to some
degree, I would not want to assume that the Mac format remained static. We have
already seen several, non-backwards-compatible versions of NTFS, for example. Anyway,
I would be willing to poke around in my archival storage, looking for those files.

Yes, I think that is going to be the most practical and reliable answer.

Then how can Mac users watch any commercial DVD release they may pick up at
Blockbuster on their computer, which I believe they can, given the proper level of Mac
hardware / software ?
