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.
