 - Use Windows native CD/DVD reading/burning tools to pull the bits
   off of the disc as an image file.  (Note that some tools don't
   write just the sector contents, but add additional metadata in
   their output file unless appropriately sledgehammered over the
   head.)  The ODS2 tool should be able to read the result.
