I don't know whether you still want that, as Guillaume sent you a Windows shell 
script, but you say you have a Mac. I made a Linux shell script for that, which 
probably works on Mac too. It doesn't use toolshed, it just cuts any file into 
chunks of 161280 bytes. If you give it "FOO.DSK" it will create "FOO/000.DSK", 
"FOO/001.DSK", and so on.

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "error: dsk name missing"; exit 1; fi
DEST=$(basename "${1%.*}")
mkdir "$DEST" || exit 2
last=$[$(stat -c%s "$1")/161280 - 1]
for i in $(seq 0 $last); do
   dd if="$1" of="$DEST/$(printf %03d "$i").dsk" bs=161280 skip="$i" count=1
done
