Thanks for those examples, Stuart.

Unfortunately, dd doesn't want to work with this crappy CD:

# dd if=/dev/acd0t01 of=track1.cdr bs=2352
dd: /dev/acd0t01: Device not configured
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000179 secs (0 bytes/sec)

Yet:

$ ls -l /dev/acd0t01

crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0,  91 Nov 30 23:27 /dev/acd0t01
