I am having similar problems trying to dd a music CD. Is this supposed to
work, or does the driver "know" something about what the data on the CD is
supposed to look like? I see from your other posts that you did manage to
get some data off the disc. It fails for me at the beginning and I do not
get anything.
Thanks,
