First thing I did when my Lemming disks showed up was to write unable them, 
because I don't want to cold start my machine every time just to get rid of
eventual virus or likewise nasty progs.
Besides, the game doesn't need to be write enabled.	
I have no troubble with my disks, I think that you shouldn't either if you
write unable your disks.

About the code, one thing one can see after some comparision is that characters
8 and 9 tells which level it is. In hexadecimal code from B(=0) to Q(=15).
The rest of the code alters with the time and Lemmings saved on the previous
level, I beleive.
