 According to the manual the disks get a serial number written on first time use that matches them to the base game disk. This makes them non-working with a different base game disk.
+This signature is a 16 bit number written to the last two bytes of track 18 sector 0 when the add-on disk is installed through the game menu.
-enigma: My current suspicion (unverified) is that the last two bytes of track 18 sector 0 must be zero to "deinitialize" the disk.
+If the two bytes are zero the disk counts as uninitialized and can be used with any main game disk again.
