to the iPhone.
Remember there is a z-machine interpreter written by Johnny Billquist
that runs on RSX, it was ported by Megan Gentry to run on RT-11. I
believe the latest updates still run on RT-11, though IIRC a couple
years back a couple of us had to do some testing and work with Johnny
to keep it working on RT-11 due to some changes he'd made.
I would *REALLY* love to see one of the original Infocom copies for the PDP-11.
