So there is more stuff inserted between the volume descriptor and the
root directory of the ISO.
(The descriptor contains a minimal directory record which points to
 the content of the root directory. All attributes and properties of the
 root directory are read from the "." directory record in there.
 But obviously the pointer, a block address, leads to other data.)

I would investigate further if i had the image file.
But my guessing of the french word for "abandonware" yields no success
on Google. :))

Well, for now the endeavor stops at the insight that there is probably
some meta-data interleaved between parts of the ISO image.


Have a nice day :)
