this actually looks interesting it is an index of all mac products both hardware + software!
i just came across this because my new ADCMirror linked to guide.apple.com
and i realized that this whole idea got merged with itunes + deprecated + dropped around early 2009
it sparked my curiousity and i started to look for it in other forms. had they made a cd-rom? they had!!
now its a great reference to look back on .. im curious if this came out on cd all the way up to 2008/2009?
this version obviously a really old version (1999)

This article shows how to convert .cdr to .iso on macs: https://www.howtogeek.com/228886/how-to-create-iso-files-from-discs-on-windows-mac-and-linux/ (https://www.howtogeek.com/228886/how-to-create-iso-files-from-discs-on-windows-mac-and-linux/).
It says that sometimes you can rename .cdr to .iso (and probably also .toast) directly, but I don't know which sometimes. You are probably better off just using the OSX command line.
Maybe you could also try renaming it to .img? If it is a raw hfs or hfs+, it might work.

I use AnyToISO on my Mac Pro. Works like a charm for just about anything and it's free too.
