Has anyone been able to successfully backup Arcanum?

I ran several attempts yesterday that resulted in coasters. Tried CloneCD and Nero and had no luck. Any suggestions? The No-CD got me to at least see the Sierra and Troika spash screens and then shelled out to the desktop.

Is this really a CD Check security or is there something else on there? I hate to play with the masters.

C.

BTW: Nice manual. Good Job to Troika on that.
