Can anyone tell me how to convert my
ORIGINAL and LEGITIMATE Electronic Arts
games (M.U.L.E. and ARCHON) to a form
I can use on my MSD single disk drive?
I have talked to MSD and EA reps for
a year and a half (on and off) with vague
explanations of the incompatibility problem
and promises that it may soon be fixed.
Meanwhile I have useless (though very
nice) software.

Does anyone know exactly what the incompatiblity
problem is (besides a different DOS)? 
Is it hopeless? I've heard rumors of
people using "broken" copies on MSD
drives but don't know if it's true or not.

Any help or comments appreciated.
