I know one person who has an original Infocom game for the PDP-11 on an 
RX01 floppy.  IIRC, the game is Planetfall.  Not as historically 
significant as Zork, but quite a fun game.  I haven't managed to 
convince him to trade or sell it, but I could probably get him to make a 
copy for me.

At one point Infocom had a fire sale on their games for platforms for 
which they were dropping support.  I already had all the games for the 
Apple II and/or Mac, but I bought all of them for the Kaypro II.  I 
should have bought some for other platforms.  Oh well.
