Dream on
Such a device would have to do WITHOUT using EFM redundancy (ie. without internal error correction, or ECC) - and the possibility of there being the
slightest spot, let alone scratch, on the surface of a
data CD makes EFM encoding, and thus error correction, compulsory to be able to correct the resulting read errors AND distinguish these from C2 (fake) errors, ie. safedisk & co.
Besides, even if it were possible to keep a CD
perfectly smooth & intact (
), this device - deprived of ECC - would call on almost "supernatural" accuracy to be able to read
every pit & land without making a single mistake!
So I'm sorry to say this, but forget it man, it's a forlorn hope - but hey, perhaps YOU could give it a try
