We* used a PC and a SCSI card to read it, and I believe some sector 
reading software.

Note that speed is not really relevant when it comes to data transfer. 
The LV-ROM player is actually incredibly slow at reading data, so you 
never really get much more than about 15K/sec at the most.

I built an interface to transfer the data to a PC  via a User to 
Parallel port link, and it still took around 9 hours to do one disc. The 
SCSI interface itself doesn't seem to be fast enough for quick transfers.

* I say "we"... I was part of Camelion at the time, but wasn't actually 
involved in the data transfer work.
