Y'know you CAN use a disk without the shutter on it.  I've had a 
couple where the spring went *sproing* (outside of my disk drives,
thankfully!) and I just removed the shutter entirely and the Amiga drives
had no trouble with them.

But at any rate, it sounds like whatever copier you used to "nibble"
your Dungeon Master original didn't do a good job at it. The game
has been out some time now and it wouldn't surprise me at all if FTL/
Software Heaven had switched copy protection schemes a couple times
to foil the nibbler-makers. 

I've no idea what "Dungeon Master System Error #60" means but it
sounds like it could be the copy-protection screwing up. 

At any rate, DM is _such_ an excellent game once you get yourself
wrapped up in it, do send back that broken disk and get a replacement.
This is one of a very few computer games I've ever played which gave
me much MORE than my money's worth.
