That's odd. MAC CDs will typically have a resource fork, but this is the
first I've heard of an unreadable format.

IIRC, you are running rather old versions of the applicable drivers. I
would recommend upgrading OS2CDROM.DMD and perhaps CDIFS.IFS to at least
the FP15 and DD FP02 levels and see what happends.

I don't of anything specific designed to do this. It's possible that
cdrecords's -inq command will provide some info. Also, there's several
grabbers at Hobbes:

os2/apps/mmedia/cd/grabber

One of these, possibly Leech, might help.

HTH,
