If anyone has an odd CD lying around, they can email me the first 65536 bytes of the CD (hopefully no vendor will care about copyright on their volume descriptors!) so I can compare the structure of the volume descriptors - I've got about 8 of them so far, just use 'dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.dmp bs=65536 count=1' and compress the result before emailing it to me :)
hmm, wouldn't dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.dmp bs=2048 count=32 be better?
Maybe it doesn't make a damn bit of difference, but as the blocksize on cds is 2048 bytes I think it makes more sense to say gimme the first 32 2048-byte sectors.
