This "no standard format" is in reality a standard format, namely
pure raw "High Sierra" with the RAW sector format instead of a (now)
standard ISO9660 image with 2048 sector size.

I converted it to a standard ISO format with this in Linux (it does
recognize this image as mountable):
- mount -o loop bkshlf87.iso /mnt
- mkisofs -o msbookshelf87.iso -iso-level 1 -R -hide-rr-moved \
-volid BOOKSHELF -preparer "Dan Newell" \
-preparer MERIDIAN_DATA_CD_PUBLISHER \
--modification-date=1987082121393400 -v /mnt
- umount /mnt

This yields a standard ISO9660 image with all metadata intact,
metadata is taken from sector view from isobuster.

For convenience, I packaged everything up here: https://mega.nz/file/WUZB0KYR#4sreYqrKGLNR47VtSlGa0rJIOCsCasztebnwM9BGcuI
