Now I tested the very same game on this same machine, but this time with an image file. It worked as well.

I also tried to test this on a P3 machine with 512 MB. With a real CD the game crashed immediately; the image variant won't work because the image driver wants to allocate 780 MB XMS memory. Perhaps this can be improved a bit, because the image is 320 MB only, so in theory it might be possible to run on that machine. It's of minor importance, of course, since on such machines you can usually just connect the CD drive with the sound card and so avoid all this extra work.
