Thank you all for your ideas. With various suggestions, I found a variation of the CDRomSample
code that seems to work well. The sample does reads on the BSN Name of
the device root (i.e. /dev/rdisk#). I have found that if I dig a
little deeper into the IORegistry for the device (i.e. /dev/rdisk#s0),
the code works.

Why do you need the read to go over the USB bus? If the OS itself has cached some disk data, why force it to be transferred over the bus again?
What are you trying to accomplish?

If there were a simple way to get around the AV SW, then malware would be able to use it to get around the AV SW, thus nullifying the AV SW.
