no, don't use iso, your mac won't know what it is. just burn the .bin directly to a cd then pop it in yr mac. unstuff it there.
A bin file is not a CD image, it's just a file, a bit like a zip on your PC. On your PC just make a data CD and drop the bin file in there, burn the CD, and pop it in your Mac.
