No. SHSUCDX is what does ISO9660 for you. Actually it would be nice to have a version which also does UDF as well :-). ISO9660 and UDF are filesystems, like FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS. The low-level driver (gcdrom or anything) allows DOS to access the sectors on your CD/DVD and tell your drive to start playing audio and similar simple things. Without a low-level driver, SHSUCDX has no access to your CD/DVD drive hardware. Without SHSUCDX, DOS does not know that the sectors on your CD/DVD are part of files. So you do actually need BOTH - one low-level driver and SHSUCDX. >> Xgcdrom is xcdrom (ATAPI) and gcdrom (S-ATA) combined into >> one driver, so you can use both types of CD/DVD drives >> without having to decide which driver you want to install. > > So where do I find it xgcdrom?
