No problems transferring the disk and it looks like it starts to
load.  However once it gets past the initial title screen it starts to
load again and then makes nasty grinding noises like the disk head is
hitting.  I can try another set of drives (I'm using a Duo Disk) but
I've never had trouble with them before.

Are the Duo Disks known to have any incompatibilities vs the regular
disk drives?  The reason I ask is that I have another game
(Burgertime) that I know worked back in the day on my IIe and now it
doesn't.  The only thing I've changed is swapping out the two 5.25"
drives for the Duo Disk.

If it is a speed issue, how do I go about fixing that?
