The drive I bought (TEAC FD - 55FR 511 - U) turns out to be a drive that seems to only read 720KB disks and won't read "Conflict Europe" which I think is a 360KB disk.
Not neccessarily. Floppy disks don't last forever - I've seen some go within 7 years of purchase, and yours are probably much older than that.

It's unlikely that you're dealing with some weird backwards compatibility issue, altough a booter game which isn't using an actual file system might be possible. Try rawrite2 and/or Floppy Disk Analyzer.

I suggest you put that one aside for the moment and continue going with the other ones you've got to copy and see if the problem occurs on another.
