The Amiga btw is a very good example of questionable copy protection methods. When Commodore was finished and the Escom company produced Amigas for a short while, they changed the internal floppy drives of the Amiga 1200 to another brand... and you guessed it, many old games didn't work since they were using a copy protection method that was based on an undocumented feature of the old floppy drives. Fuck, there were even some kind of mod chip solutions around to (partially) fix that problem with the A1200 that also had some other negative effects.

I never bothered buying such flawed extension just to get my old games to work again.
