That's the *very* basic ISO9660 format. There are extensions to the format
for the 256 character Windoze format along with the Mac 31 character format
(and the "fake" 256 char Mac OS X format). I suspect that the Unix
filesystem that OS X can use (_not_ recommended unless you're a developer
with a very specific need) even has an ISO9660 extension.

I'd use CD-RWs for that. Also, you may want to split up your e-lists between
different Eudora folders. This will allow you to make better use of your
backups by backing up less important stuff less frequently (or not at all
since you probably don't look at old stuff anyway).

For those, use ISO9660 with the Macintosh filenames format. Each time you do
a burn import the most recent session and add/replace/delete the files you
no longer need.
