I recently bought AutoDuel, a 1985 game that comes bundled with a System that won't boot my SE/30. The documentation mentions that it is copy-protected; you can copy it to your hard drive, but when you start the game, it checks to see whether the original disk is in a floppy drive and refuses to run if it doesn't find the original disk. I copied it to my hard drive, and started it up. I chuckled an evil chuckle when I found out that it doesn't require the original disk; I can play perfectly well without ever using the original disk. My question, then, is this: Was there ever copy protection on AutoDuel that worked? If so, why doesn't the copy protection work on my SE/30 (System 6.0.7, MultiFinder 6.1b9, boodles of inits)?
