MistyNew blog post! I've been using enthusiast-developed lower-level CD reading techniques for awhile, and I think institutional archivists would benefit from trying them out. Wrote up a summary of what it is, how it works, and how it could be useful for you.
6502 ALU@misty really interesting and well written article that untangles the mess of legacy, proprietary, and gatekeepy tech.
Can low level reads reach the extents of Dreamcast discs, or are the too hardware specific?
@6502ALU Thanks!
And yup, that's possible. It does require a bit more work though: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=GD-ROM_Dumping_Guide
