Yes, I'm looking for disk images as well -- I'm a completist.

Took a chance and bid on it. It arrived in the mail today. Proof is: PQ3_EGA_Proof.jpg Disks are labelled as: 5.25" HD MS-DOS VER #1.0 INT#10.21.91 Anyone have these in disk image format, or if that is not available, the equivalent 3.5" disks? (is that allowed? the box still has the disk e...

Does anyone have working disk images for this, or if 5.25" images are no-go, the 3.5" version? Reason I ask is that after waiting a long time, a PQ3 EGA copy finally popped up on Ebay at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Police-Quest-3-PC-DOS-game-5-1-4-floppy-disks-in-big-box-/271159245019?pt=Vide...

Or it could be my 1.44MB/720kb USB 3.5" floppy drive. I managed to maybe partially image the 3.5" startup disk, then the drive simply stopped seeing any disks after that -- everything was "disk is not formatted, do you want to format it now?" I know there's a problem with the dri...

I think it's dead Jim. I've tried imaging a sampling of disks; and none work.

Got it over e-bay, the tenth 3.5" disk is missing... or it may be in 5.25" format :evil: The 3.5" disks are marked KINGS QUEST V 16 COLORS 720K SET / MS DISK 1 of 10 VER #0.000.054 INT#11.15.90 and KINGS QUEST V DUAL DRIVE STARTUP 1.2M SET/MS/16 DISK 6 of 6 VER #0.000.054 INT#11.15.90...
