Re: How to make the Sierra DSK images work.

[mk_dubrow@no-spam.hotmail.com (Rob)]

I downloaded converted and re-uploaded the entire King's Quest and
Space Quest  series up to asimov as .NIB files.  If they ever get
moved out of the incoming folder you can grab them.

They all work fine for me  in AppleWin v1.13.2.0.  I obviously didn't
play them all the way to the end but I did boot them up and play them
far enough to have to swap disks a few times.      I don't know what
your doing wrong.
