TOC cloning or 'raw data reading' with an MXD-D1 deck?

[mysterymadman]

Hi,

Last week I posted an item about recovering data from faulty discs (most likely, or at least so I hope, only the TOC is corrupt), which can be found at: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=17880

Then, as a 'new development', yesterday evening I went to the school where our daughter has music classes, and they have a Sony MXD-D1 deck. Due to a total power black out in the area, I could not test the deck (nor where there any classes, obviously).

However, her teacher said I can use it next week to try to recover the TOC, or try reading out the raw data of the discs (and looping it through to my MD, using the optical out of the deck, into the digital in of my recorder).

Can anyone tell me:

-If they know whether this specific deck is good at reading raw data, regardless of a faulty TOC?

-If TOC cloning can be done with this deck?

-If so: how exactly?

I hope someone can help me with this...

Tnx in advance, and cheers!

MM
