More likely just a format that EZ CD can't read -- it understands ISO-9660,
RockRidge extensions, and Joliet extensions, but I suspect the VMS CD (like
most Solaris, IRIX, etc) isn't ISO format. If you have access to a
unix/linux box, try reading it with 'dd' (that's how I copy Solaris, Mac
HFS, IRIX EFS/XFS, etc).
As several others have said, all data mode CDs have 2048-byte "sectors" on
the physical medium (2352 bytes if audio).
