Once a thief, always a thief?   Past Psygnosis products are infamous
for certain problems; timing so close to the edge they won't load
on all machines, 68030 incompatible, unreliable copy protection, etc.

Lemmings is copy protected, and does use custom disk loaders.  Those
loaders, however, show none of the traditional Psygnosis problems.  Lemmings
works fine on all the machines here, including the top and bottom end of
the product line, under all revisions of the OS, and even on a floppy drive
that is sensitive to step rate (and breaks other games).
