Y'all are getting way to complicated for what you want to do. All you need
is a CDR utility that can do sector level copies. At that level, formatting
is irrelevant, and it works real well, because two weeks ago, I copied about
6 Mac CDs on a CDR hooked to a Compaq. No virtual HFS volumes, nada.
Sector-copied the CD, all six worked perfectly.
