Is it a real Plextor drive or a rebadged OEM drive?

Rebadged OEM drives doesn't support the D8 command.

The PX-116A2 is a rebadged PIONEER-121 according to "the internet".

I absolutely don't understand how does this tool work. In c2 mode, why does it scan the disc for c2 errors _before_ the actual reading? What's the point? You need to read the sector with c2 reporting and count the errors for each track. If you read all the sectors once just to count the errors and then read the all the sectors again to save the contents, such c2 errors collecting is useless. For scratched discs, c2 errors number is different with every read, that's why it's useful to reread such sectors many times and use good bytes from each read to reconstruct a good sector (or as close to good as possible).

Also I don't understand the idea of "scramble.bin". What is it used for?

It would be cool if this tool could act as CDtoIMG-D8 replacement with C2 reporting (which works properly, of course) + offset correction (manually entered or automatically detected) + subcode dump (D8 + C2 isn't supported, whereas D8 + C2 + Sub96 is supported), without unscrambling/splitting/other kind of postprocessing this D8 dump.

Did not buy it. It was given to me. Point me to a sales place which does not ask rediculous prices.

F1ReB4LL: the scramble.bin file I think is the EOR decryption key for scrambled sectors. IIRC it's nothing more than that to scramble a sector, there is no weird math like some people think.

Sarami are you going to continue developing this tool? It would be great to get the C2 error detection/correction implemented.

c2: re-read until 80 times (80 is magic number at present.)
this coding is very slow, so impractical..
