Since the specification is available for anybody to purchase, implementations have been written for many operating systems.

    ISO 9660 addressed the chaotic variability in organizing data on optic discs by creating a unified set of rules. It also revolutionized data storage for physical media and paved the way for ISO images, allowing data preservation and sharing beyond the now-dying optical discs.
    It is possible to circumvent this limitation by using the multi-extent (fragmentation) feature of ISO 9660 Level 3 to create ISO 9660 file systems and single files up to 8 TB. With this, files larger than 4 GiB can be split up into multiple extents (sequential series of sectors), each not exceeding the 4 GiB limit.
