There are two "pressings" of the DL2 disc.
This is the first pressing, indicated by the 00001 in the serial number.

This disc is only for use in a true DL2 machine with proper ROMs.

If you're looking for a DL2 disc to use with Merlin in a DL1 machine, then you will need the second pressing (00002).

Interesting. I was not aware of this tidbit of laser lore. Thanks as always for the guru info, Shaun.

What's the technical difference between the pressings?

Thanks for the Information I just looked at the one I bought a while back and it is the 00002 pressing. Glad I can use it when I get the Merlin PCB.

With the first pressing of the disc, the video starts at a different frame number. This means that the control program would show the wrong video if you installed the wrong disc.

I haven't seen it for myself, but I've been told that the video on the second pressing looks better.

There weren't very many first pressing discs made.
I guess it was for a limited test run of the game to see if it was going to be a success before they committed to full production.
