Al,
Thanks for the advice. It's much appreciated. The rig shouldn't cough on a blank
first track (fingers crossed). I use the LINUX tools and libraries principally, along with
some track walking glue-code when dealing with un-verified formats. I should be able to
scan and re-order tracks arbitrarily.

One thing to watch out for is the first track is unformatted.
This freaks out a number of imaging programs, who assume the
entire disk is unreadable if the first track couldn't be read.
