In the first place GDRom reader is a scsi device.
To get it to work you would need to get the o/s to understand what the hell it is which means writing a device driver for it.
You would also need to write a program to read a GDRom disc and also one to burn the image.
Lastly you need to break into Sega and steal some blanks as they are not commercially available.
