ATM we support (at least reading) the old Intel style partitions and what 
Apple used on their PPC machines. Furthermore we can read the Amiga RDB 
(rigid disk block) and also have support for CD/DVD sessions. The new 
partitioning system introduced with EFI (i.e. what is used on the new Macs) 
is not yet supported.
