Actually when you make a hybrid cd there is in fact two or more partitions. For instantce you can make a hybrid cd that has a mac partition (hfs_) and a windows partition (fat_) . How do you think cds such as Diablo can work both on widows and mac but only show files for the correct operating system. O and how would one exactly make a bin/cue file, I was personally thinking using toast to copy the root of the cd bit for bit so when dosbox loads the cd it will actually load both parts of the cd.

I guess you could refer to them as partitions but usually you see people refer to them as their filesystem type like HFS/ISO9660/UDF, etc. It's just confusing to mention "partitions" on CD media.

As for .Bin/.Cue I don't know of any Mac equivalents. I use IsoBuster on Windows to create the image file.
