Per staff discussions, I'm requesting to add a checkbox to the 'Extras' section of the 'Additional Info' tab in MPF, for the following:

PC/Mac Hybrid

Specifically, to add this checkbox only for the IBM-PC and Mac systems, so that users can check the box to indicate the disc is in fact a PC/Mac Hybrid disc. It could be added either right before, or right after Comments, or wherever is most suitable after further discussion.

The language that should be generated in the comments section of the submissioninfo, as a result of this, should be exactly above:

PC/Mac Hybrid

This will help to standardize the language in redump, as well as help to collect this information at the source which will reduce redundant requests for investigation.

OPTIONAL:
To add hovertext to this checkbox with something like "Check if your disc has both a PC partition and a Mac partition" or other similar language
