Obviously I have the two commands above backwards.

Clone read of CD:

readcd -v dev=/dev/hda f=/home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img -clone retries=128 ts=128k

The use of the readcd -clone option puts the whole disk info into a single file.

Clone write of CD:

cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hda speed=40 -raw96r
driveropts=burnfree -clone -eject /home/mark/backups/k3b_0.img

The -raw96r option tells cdrecord it's reading a Clone type file.

According to the man page gracetime=2 is not allowed as it's below a
minimum of 3.

burnfree is write drive dependent.
