Hello,

   Actually, I have no clue how old these disks are.  All I know is that I
can't get dig dug to work on any disk I put it on.  Going on what I was
told in an e-mail received in reply to my first message, I wrote the dig
dug image over one of the disk sides that worked and found that I got the
same error.  Then I took one of the images I knew worked and wrote it over
the side that I had first installed dig dug on it.  When I did this I was
able to boot to the new game I put on that side in place of dig dug.
