NEED INFORMATIONS Just wondering if anyone has any experience producing CD-ROMS with both HFS and ISO 9660 partitions. How does this work? i.e. are special drivers needed, how does the mac see its partition, how does the PC see its partition, etc. Ray Taylor

Usually the disc is essentially divided into two partitions, an HFS partition and an ISo 9660 partition. The Mac will see the HFS partition and ignore the ISO partition. MS-DOS PCs will see the ISO partition and will ignore the Mac partition.

Matt, since our CDs are ISO (and require Foreign File Access on the Mac), I thought I'd pose this question: Given that a disc is partitioned as you stated, what happens if you run that disc on a Mac that has Foreign File access (with ISO access) installed? Do you get two icons for the disc? Just curious… – Jim
