No, I just changed the extension to ISO and double clicked, using the native ISO mounting functionality.

Can't test with MS bookshelf as there doesn't appear to be an ISO provided

EDIT: Nonetheless thank you for preparing these interesting images!

Maybe it's been some update or something, it sure didn't work when I tried this a year ago.

I ripped the CD of bookshelf as a MDF

https://archive.org/download/MicrosoftBookshelf1991/msbooksh...

Since it wasn't mounting for me either with the physical disc, or the image... I passed the drive under Qemu and MS-DOS read it fine.

The whole thing was... Strange in that I can't get these old discs to mount. Although they read fine. strange.

It was really fun taking these old CD-ROM's disc images, and actually manipulating the data. I didn't expect to get anything and I was really surprised that it worked.
