This is the 1984 360k 5.25" Tandy release of King's Quest, a slightly modified version of the original IBM PCjr release from 1983 with Tandy graphics and 3-voice sound. I played this exact version as a kid in 1984.
Anyway, it is an auto-booter and the disk is not otherwise readable from DOS or Windows. I got an image of the disk, and successfully booted it with DOSBox in Tandy mode with sound @ 44100. Sound is spot on and graphics and performance are great. Only problem: Text mode doesn't work. When you type "show status" or hit the TAB key, it brings up your inventory, which switches it into some type of high resolution text mode... In DOSBox, this mode shows up as a black screen. The mode works fine in the Tand-em emulator (which is a complete Tandy 1000 emulator -- though it is a nightmare to use and its sound support is poor).
I've tried DOSBox version 0.63 ( which leaves some garbled grid pattern after text mode exits) and a new build from the CVS tree (07-30-05), which correctly cleans up the exit garble, but still displays text mode as a blank screen.
Any ideas?
