This will read the raw data from the drive directly to a file.

Method: CDRDAO

$ cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --datafile image.bin --device ATA:1,1,0 \

        --driver generic-mmc-raw image.toc

$ toc2cue image.toc image.cue

$ bchunk image.bin image.cue image

Assuming you want an ISO file, first we generate a BIN+TOC, then convert the TOC to a CUE file (BIN+CUE). From here, we can generate an ISO file.
