The older Infocom games, like Suspended, were never updated to take
advantage of newer criteria.  They can't be copied and do not understand
the HFS.  You will have to play from the master disk.  You may even have
to BOOT from the master disk (too bad you trashed its system).  I have
sometimes found when I try to Save a game with these older jobbies, that
it gets saved only till I Quit, then the saved games vanish off the
disks.
