Well I did a cat directly from the mounted ftp filesystem to the 
Desktop renaming the output boot.cdr and that did the trick, sort of. 
Don't know if the lack of prior Mac meta-information was necessary 
but Disk Copy accepted it as a potential image.

But when I actually tried to do the burn it said: "boot.cdr" failed 
to burn due to error 999. (internal error)

Also the second image had some header stuff on it so probably you 
can't just cat them anyway.  Need to wait for one of the experts to 
fix it properly.
