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.
