1. Neither dd nor readcd does "file reading".
2. You don't need to clone sectors to copy a bootable cd.
3. readcd has a clone switch.
4. If your "hidden hardware security measures" read the ATIP,
   you are lost anyway.

Fabian,  thanks for the insight.

I am running 4.10 generic kernel with 2 ata cd drives.
Master is read only and slave is rd/rw.

How would I code the burncd command to read all the music files from
cd0 and write to cd1 without work file in between?

How would I code the burncd command to clone a bootable cd without
work file in between?


Thanks
