Bit-for-bit Clone Of Md Using Himd Unit

[thx99]

I'm interested in:

(1) creating a bit-for-bit clone of a standard MD,

(2) analyzing that disc image with a hex editor (i.e., WinHex), and

(3) burning that disc image to one or more blank standard MDs.

Will this process be possible using either a SONY MZRH10 or MZRH910 unit, via the USB connection?

From what I've read, these units can write data only on HiMD media, so (3) above is probably a no-go.

But will the unit still show up as a drive letter after inserting a standard MD with recorded audio? If so, then I believe that WinHex can create an image of the disc.

Any answers/guidance will be greatly appreciated.

No, only Hi-Md formatted discs will show up under Windows Explorer.

The only way I know of to Clone a Standard Md is using this machine:
