Ohh boy, if I can not use the HSC70, even if the CI board L0009
is installed in the VAX without the CI750 (which is a complete
cabinets in its own), I think I will try to sell the HSC70 to get
some money back spent on the transportation on the system ...
I really don't have the space for yet an other cabinet :-(
I downloaded DUNGEON, but I mean Zork. Are those two (almost)
identical? I never saw Zork, just read about it in an article.
I will check out DUNGEON and ADVENT in RT-11 is a couple of
weeks. I will also take the time to read through the updated
manual (I know, ... I have it on a stack "todo" things).

Ethan's and your response have exact the same hh:mm time stamp!

The HSC will require a CI750, which is a whole cabinet of it's own.
If you don't have that one, you're out of luck.
I posted a request for Zork (PDP-11) on Amazon a
year ago,
but > never had any response. So, your link to the VMS
version is great!
Hmm. I saw that ZEMU was mentioned later in this discussion
as well, but let me start by asking if you're talking about
the Infocom commercial release, or the FORTRAN port called
DUNGEON is what you're thinking of?
Anyway, ZEMU exists, and works just fine. However, Megan have
not done anything in a long while, so I'm not sure if it
works as is on RT-11 or not. If someone who have RT-11 is
willing to look at it, I'd be grateful.
The RSX version is just fine, though. Anyone who wants to
try, just log into MIM.
