I am trying to locate a copy of the *old* Scott Adams adventure games. I know that a disk with 11 games was sold about 6 or 7 years ago for MS-DOS and CP/M. Since I have the ability to run all sorts of software, either will work. Does anyone out in net.land have an old copy they would be willing to part with? Thanks, -ethan -- Ethan R.

All I've got is a TRS-80 version of it. It's Z-80 code, but I'm sure it has dos calls for that system (NEWDOS80) and other calls from deep down in low memory. > >Marc > * Origin: The Black Box RCP/M MSBBS, 713-480-2686 HST/V32/V42bis (106/601)

Thanks, I am not sure about NEWDOS80 but if it is not CP/M 80 compatable, it will not work for me. Marc * Origin: The Black Box RCP/M MSBBS, 713-480-2686 HST/V32/V42bis (106/601)

If you have a PC you can run the Newdos80 Scott Adams adventures using the Pc-Three TRS80 Model III emulator from Hypersoft (PO Box 51155, Raleigh, NC 27609). However, it's not cheap (around 100 dollars or more). You will also need a double-density, legal, MIII Newdos80 system disk (PC Three can't read SD). Newdos80 is not CP/M compatible. There may be a further problem: some of the Scott Adams adventures for the TRS-80 were distributed on tape, but you could run them from a Newdos80 disk by using Apparat's LMOFFSET program. A game doctored in this way for a TRS-80 Model I won't necessarily work on a Model III (and thus on the emulator). A genuine disk version should be OK. I have one (demo) SA adventure for the Model III, and would be glad to hear from anyone wanting to give away unused copies of others. I've had to sign off this list, so won't be around to receive comments. (I wish there was a list for TRS-80 users, but I've never found one on the net. ) Christopher
