There is Hope!  AND here it is -
I have a control panel on my 8100/100 by Asatrte, which is called 
multi-session mounter (mine is version 2.0.5).  This control panel allows 
you to mount second and subsequent sessions on multi-session CDs.  each 
appears as an appropriately sized mounted smaller than normal CD.  Now 
although oit mount multi-session CDs fine IT ALSO wil mount PC partition 
on mixed mode CDs such as the demon one - just as if it were a plain old 
multi-session CD.  Once mounted in this fashion all thos PC files are easily 
copied straight off the CD.

I acquired the control panel from a Mac bureau who were writing 
multi-session CDs from me which I could only read the first session on.  
When I moaned I couldn't see half the file thay told me were on it they gave 
me this control panel.  I don't know if its public domain or not, but if you 
want to e-mail me directly I don't mind letting you try it out, before 
writing to the maker to see if it is public.  (I beleive it made by the same 
people who do "TOAST" CD writing software).
