BEYOND DIVINITY takes me 20min to install, but plays great.

You know why it might work? Drives of that era will not read CD-RW discs due to the old laser type in the drive. That may have something to do with it.

On a related note, do the copies still work if you install from a fast/modern CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive and only play the game from the old CD-ROM drive?

I didnt install the games with my DVD-rom.

- Burned them with LiteOn DVD-RW
- Use WinOnCD6 DVD-Edition with latest 2 updates
- Maximal Read & Burning Speed
(I dont change any settings)
- Install the burned games with old CD-Rom Drive
- I didnt shut down DaemonTools and Virtual Discs or other Softwares
- Play them within the old CD-Rom drive

Sure glad I didnt toss my old cdrom drives. I knew they may come in handy again some day. I was gonna scrap em at one time.

i only do have panzers installed, but the copy of my original-cd no.3 works perfectly with my dvd-rom-drive (toshiba m1712). so imo no need to get an old cd-drive...try it with your dvd-rom first if one has one)
