creating CDs for use with SGI systems

Silly question, I know...

I need to create a CD with files on for access by an SGI system. Of
course, the SGI uses a CDROM drive that uses 512 byte blocks. My desktop
PC's the only thing with a CD burner in it, which is naturally set to a
block size of 2048.

>From the point of view of creating a CD, does this matter? Or is the
block size issue only to do with transferring data from the CD unit to
the host, and iso9660 is the same on both platforms?

It's one of those stupid questions that I really don't know the answer
to - I'm used to either just dealing with CDs on a PC, or using original
vendor media on systems which use 512 blocks (such as Sun and SGI)

I've only got a couple of decent branded blank CDs left in the house, or
I'd just risk trashing one and find out for myself :-)

cheers,

Jules
