I have the manuals for OS9 and KQ3. I can scan everything to a PDF if you
would like.
The OS9 manual is huge, but I wouldnt mind doing it. We just leased a
wonderful Kyocera copier / printer / scanner here at work.

I tried the same thing. No idea. I have 5 disk images of Kings Quest (I?,
II?, III?) and have been unsuccessful getting it to work. It is possible
that
MESS doesn't support it yet. Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with
OS9
or Nitros9. I am trying to find basic documentation for OS9 or KQ/LSL, but
without much success.
