Hi,
I've been working on a more full-featured infocom interpreter on z80 based systems for the past year or so. The idea being that you can run the later games (e.g. Nord and Berts, Sherlock, Zork: The Great Underground Empire, and even Arthur: The Quest for Excallibur), as well has hundreds (thousands?) of post-infocom era games written for the same platform. It started with the TRS-80 Model 4 128K version, then I made Model I and Model III versions. Now, I've ported it to CP/M 3.
So I'd like to make as good a CP/M 3 version as possible for the Microbee. I've had some help getting started, and now have a working emulator. I'm at the point now that I can't test my binaries on the 'bee because I can't figure out the diskdefs to get the files on or off. Does anyone have the diskdefs they can share?
If you're curious about the project, here's some links to the story so far including screenshots, more techinical detail and some of the source code:
Model 4 version - M4ZVM:

Model 1 version - M1ZVM

CP/M 3 version - Vezza

Cheers,
