Games are particularly protected and usually will run only on the 1541 drive and usually in 64 mode. So your certainly not gonna get 360k on a 5 1/2 DSDD disk. You will get the usual 664 blks and thats it. Try make sure everything is exactly as the original disks you had the games on, and use Maverick or some such tool to backup your disks.

I would take a ZIP drive any day over the EZ... The size of the disk may be the same 3.5" but if you look closely at each= cartridge you will see that the ZIP disk is colser to a floppy disk (in constructio= n and design...) The EZ media is at least 10 times the weight of the ZIP disk = media...
