As a matter of fact, I recently completed my Mirage Tools comprising

- miragedir for checking what kind of data is stored on the disk
- mirage-dr/dw for creating/writing back disk dumps
- mirage-or/ow for creating/writing OS-only dumps
- mirage-br/bw for reading/writing individual sample banks

Seems to be in a state now that I don't ridicule myself uploading it to
my website :)

Using sox, you can convert the samples from/to WAV as outlined e.g. by

Like the SQ80 Toolkit, also the Mirage Tools will require installing
fdutils for providing easy low-level access to the disk controller.
