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.
