The Login Disk&Book X68000 game set.
I have dumped the 4 disks. The first 3 are in .2hde format ( 1440KB 2/80/9/1024 ), the last normal .xdf format. Because of the format of the first 3 I cannot load and test in any emulator I have. If anyone is able to open these, and maybe extract the files into some usable format, I would be grateful.
WARNING!!!On dumping, the Kryoflux reported that the Sides were incorrect. Doing a hex dump, it does not seem they are swapped, so I don't know. THESE MAY NOT BE GOOD DUMPS!

These dumps are good. It is just that they are inaccessible to emulators. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to get the contents out of the first 3 disks, but looking at the file table and spending much time in a hex editor, I discovered that each disk had 4 to 6 large compound .lzh files, and I could work out the byte positions of these files and extract them by chopping the files in a hex editor. Disk 4 ( readable ) has batch files to install each game, so I copied the appropriate extracted archives, game at a time, into an .xdf and ran each installer. Here are the installed games:
