    Well, I have original King's Quest I - IV disks.  I was able to copy 
them to the blank disks using sector copy in Copy II Plus before I disabled 
copy-protection by modifying "20 xx xx" to "EA EA EA" (I think so, but I 
don't remember.).  It ran on real Apple II machine without any problem. 
Then, I converted them into DSK image.  I transported them to another real 
Apple II machine.  I converted DSK image back to real Apple II disk to run 
on real Apple II machine.  It ran without any problem.
    It failed running on any Apple II Emulator such as AppleWin and Kegs32. 
The garbage Text40 appears on the screen in AppleWin or Kegs32.  I tried to 
convert from DSK image to NIB image, but the result was the same.  If 
modification is needed, it may run without any problem on AppleWin and 
Kegs32, but it has nothing to do with copy-protection scheme.  I have no 
idea why.
