sweet! i think its alcohol 120%, but I think I will try the linux thing
because that sounds like it will work the best. so the ISO file is the WHOLE
DISC, boot tracks and all, and will burn the image exactly as it was copied?
I have had knowledge and worked with ISO files, but they have always been a
gray area for me as to how they worked. thanks for the ideas!

yuck a couple of years ago someone offered to load up
a hard drive with IRIX if I sent them one. He also
offered to put a demo version of, uh, trying to
remember, 100% Alcohol or something like that on it.
It was, TTBOMK, a cd-burning program. Hope that helps.
I never took advantage. Some really kewell fellow on
the list sent me a whole bloomin box of IRIX warez.
Sealed and all. Hot diggity.

The easiest way to dump them to images would be to image.iso" or similar in a shell under
Linux.
If you insist on Win32, I believe something called
"MagicISO"
http://www.magiciso.com/ should read the disks
completely. However, its
shareware 30$. (I've not actually tried it /w Irix
disks, so YMMV)
But the Linux method is the free one. Just use
something fairly
modern /w read-write NTFS support (if you need it)
in the rescue image,
and do the cat/dd route.
