There are several things that must be done to get Kings Quest 3 to play from a hard drive system. First and obvious, you must boot from a disk that can access the hard drive. That means the boot disk that comes with the game can't be used as the os9boot file does not have a driver descriptor pair for a hard drive. Since the game uses OS-9 Level II, it should not be a problem creating a custom game disk to boot the modules needed for KQ3. In fact, a typical os9boot file on a hard drive system probably is already set for KQ3. What is needed is VDGINT (covdg.io), a vdg screen or term, VI, AGIVIRQDr. Original OS-9 LevelII and NitrOS-9 names differ slightly. You may want (need?) to preload programs included in the games Shell file. These are in addition to shell: copy, date, deiniz, del, dir, display, echo, iniz, link, list, load, mdir, merge, mfree, procs, rename, setime, tmode, unlink. I normally have these in memory and have not tested the game with these files in CMDS rather than memory. Second, you must create directories on the have drive that contain all of the files from the three game disks. I have the following GAMES/KQUEST3/CMDS and have dsaved the contents of the game disks into the KQUEST3 and KQUEST3/CMDS directories. Third, the toc.txt file must be edited to the following: d1 s1 v0 v1 d1 s1 v0 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v12 v14 d1 s1 v0 v7 v8 v9 v11 D1 is not the same as /d1 so don't think that you need /h0. D1 just means the current data directory and since each line uses the same disk, no disk changes. You must then run TOCGen: tocgen toc.txt You can run tocgen from step 5 before starting the game. This only needs to be done once! Fourth, the game must be started and played from a VDG screen/window. Since most advanced OS-9 users probably boot into an 80 column term, you must either have a vdg descriptor module in memory or know how to convert a standard window into a vdg screen. Conversion is simple, for example: xmode /w1 type=1 pag=16 shell i=/w1& and press CLEAR to access the new window NOTE: On NitrOS-9 type: xmode /w1 par=1 col=20 row=10 Fifth, once you are in a vdg screen do a chd and chx into the game data directory and command directory respectively. Enter sierra -r or sierra depending on whether you have an RGB monitor or not. -- Robert Gault
