That's just it, all the files appear to be the same.  I don't have
anything with two CD drives, so I copied the contents of the two discs
to disk, then did:

  for f in $(find . -type f);do cmp $f ../<otherone>/$f;done

Also, a Windows-based (blechh) cdrom-crc tool generates the same value
for each disc.

I'm hoping to find that .iso files can contain some form of "control",
"configuration", or "whatever" data that allows two different ones to
generate identical discs.
