30 Atari games for PC? If these are really Atari PC games, then they are commercial Hasbro or Infogrames programs. I don't think your problem is XP or 2000, the disk must be bad, a bad copy. Try reading it on someone else's computer, with Win ME or 98SE. Could be your CD is flaky.

I've often debated this with people as I am in the IT field. I have NEVER NEVER EVER seen a 'bad' cd from a commercial press. I've seen bad cd burns, but not pressed copies. I have, however, had problem with certain types of cd-rom drives. Not saying it isn't possible, but that has been my experience.

An interesting auction item:
0&rd=1 Wow! It's a big one! Will be interesting to see if anyone wants it badly enough to ante up. But this is the only 815 I've ever seen on eBay. -Larry

I think it's pretty greedy to sell the manual seperately. I mean, for that asking price it should be inclusive, IMO.

I saw the drive long ago at a friends house, so it was released to the public at some point.
The $600 asking price is frigging ridiculous. It's not that rare/special/valuable, etc. Probably explains why there are 0 bids on it.

I remember seeing at least one at a local computer store in Connecticut circa 80-82 (exact year a bit fuzzy). They were released to the public and they were expensive. I believe there were at least one third party dual drive as well.
