I have a couple of old, copy-protected games (Shadowgate, Uninvited) that I would like to try to play on my iMac DV SE. I used to play them on my Mac SE, but that machine is in storage. And anyway, it doesn't have a color monitor.

The trouble I am having is that my floppy drive won't read them (they are on 520k disks; my floppy drive thinks they are DOS disks). Both games have two disks, one is protected and the other is not. The non-protected disks can be copied onto a 1.44mb disk which can be read by the floppy drive, but the protected disks cannot.

How can I either get my floppy drive to read these disks, or copy them onto a 1.44mb disk that my floppy drive can read?

I don't know whether CD Copy works with floppies, but perhaps you could image the disk with that then copy it. CD Copy won't worry about disk errors. Or even Toast maybe?
I don't know...

Find an older Mac and use it... that's your only solution.

CD Copy/Toast don't work with floppies (that one's sort of obvious there, Cipher!).

i had a similar problem that i solved by using an old centris. If you can find an old 68k machine that has a decent floppy drive you should be ok
