Hmm possibly. As you probably know, it wouldn't work for the Amiga though
cos the CD doesn't have to be CD0 and it can be dismounted and an assign
of the volumename made to the HD.
But still for the PS2 this will be cracked. Crackers can remove dongles,
on disk copy protection etc etc. Crackers are some of the most intelligent
people using computers. They are like graffiti artists. What they do is
quite astounding, but quite often they are breaking the law.
