Sorry to drift a bit off-topic (RL02 problem), but I have a question regarding Adventure running on the 11/750, Ethan. I have an 11/750 and would love to run Adventure on it :-) Did you use the PDP-11 RT-11 Adventure version , or is there a version of Adventure specific for for the VAX-11/750 ? - Henk. ________________________________ Van: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org namens Ethan Dicks Verzonden: za 22-04-2006 05:47 Aan: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Onderwerp: Re: RL02 problem On 4/22/06, Jim Beacon <jim at g1jbg.co.uk> wrote: Excellent.

Cool! Thanks Jim. Ethan's and your response have exact the same hh:mm time stamp! (at least on my computer). For my 11/750 I will need a copy of some OpenVMS version first, because I promised to wipe the disks, otherwise I could only get the system without the disks. I wanted the cab with the three RA81's too, and the HSC70, although I am not sure if the HSC70 will ever be useful as the L0009 and internal cabling is not in the 11/750. And I have read that you need besides the L0009 more stuff ... need to find out what the HSC70 requires, and maybe I come to the conclusion that the HSC70 is only taking up space ... I am not planning to build a cluster (don't know anything about that stuff either), but ... never say never :-) 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! thanks, - Henk. ________________________________ Van: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org namens Jim Beacon Verzonden: za 22-04-2006 14:06 Aan: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Onderwerp: VAX ADVENTURE, was Re: RL02 problem Henk, there is a VMS version of Adventure on the net: http://www.decus.org/libcatalog/description_html/vs0185.html#games <http://www.decus.org/libcatalog/description_html/vs0185.html#games> (requires FORTRAN) This has an executable copy of ZORK http://www.decus.org/libcatalog/description_html/vs0185.html#games <http://www.decus.org/libcatalog/description_html/vs0185.html#games> There are plenty of others - Google soon finds them! (try a search for VMS ADVENTURE, or VMS GAME) I don't know if it is possible to run the RT11 version under emulation mode on the 11/750, someone else may. Jim.

From: "Ethan Dicks" <ethan.dicks at gmail.com> I Somewhere on the HP website, is a page that lists which machines were supported by which versions of VMS. I have 7.3 on my VAXstation 3100, and 6.2 for the uVAX II (also running an emulated uVAX II in simh). I think the earlier versions are difficult to find, but most after VMS 4 are available from one place or another (the hobbyist license allows you to run any versions you can find on any machines you can find, so long as it's not for commercial gain).

Megan did the RT-11 port against RT-11 5.7, and there is a good chance you won't be able to run it on any other version, with the possible exception of 5.6. I did build an early version of ZEMU on 5.6, but had to do the following: Added to ZRT.MAC GETAVO:: RETURN GETCOL:: RETURN GETSOF:: RETURN My notes seem to indicate these are some routines that Johnny had added to the version of the source that I had, but hadn't told Megan about at the point that I grabbed the source. I was unable to build on 5.6 against a later version. I couldn't get this to build against 5.4, and at the time didn't have 5.5. I don't know if I ever found time to try building the V1 or V1.5 source. I should still have the old version that works on my PDP-11. Good luck finding a copy of the official release. I know I don't have a copy, and I don't know anyone who does. Zane -- | Zane H.

for anyone that's following this thread, I've tried this version: http://vms.tuwien.ac.at/freewarev40/000000/ and can't get it to work. The straight download has an error in one of the .DAT files, and the zipped version has incorrect references in the executable :( Jim.
