You'll need to put something together that can talk to the raw scsi
interface and issue your own read commands.
This isn't THAT difficult. Build a kernel with nothing but sg on the
relevant ID/LUN and then use something like cdparanoia as an example of
how to issue your own SCSI commands.
It's been a while since I fiddled with NetBSD, but would sg3_utils be
a good starting point for how to tackle this?

I'm also curious if these are HVD or LVD drives (I remember long
cables on the units at WorldCom, so I doubt they are single-ended).
