Anyone who has the floppy version of Gabriel Knight 1 or Police Quest 4, please PM me. I am trying to add support for these versions of the games to the new installers and need info.

I believe I have them from friendly acquisitions of the past....but no physical disks or disk images. :(

I need to know the actual layout of the disks, what files are on what disk and in what folders, as well as how the resource files are split and compressed. Other wise I will not be able to script the concatenation and decompression of the resources.

You can get a USB floppy drive pretty cheap. I got one from eBay for about $6US. If you do, it would be a good idea to backup any floppies you want to keep. I have all of my floppy games backed up to DVD.

On Sunday I have to go to a mall specialized in electronics, and I'll keep on eye on this mystical artifact. If I got one, do you want me to post my findings?
