sadly everything you were looking for is v4… this thing only does v3. if you email was right I sent you a disk image with some stuff at least…….

Oh fun bug saving causes it to crash. something about closing files (again?!). However it does ave the file and restore fine. go figure. 😐

Hi,
I have an Aztec monster installed, but it’s still a pain to have to pull the side off to get to the CF card..
Take your time, enjoy the boat ride, and let me know!
Thanks again!

I’m on a boat at the moment l, cruising into town. I’ll see what I can do for you. I’d highly suggest one of those raspberry pi to scsi adapters to get you some real storage.

And it’s an excuse to rebuild with GCC 1.4 and Hudson/sharp c.

I have an x68k expert, and I also use xm6.
I’m using edit69 to add files to the images (I started with floppy image)
I’ve got quite a few of them running at this point, and have added them to a HD image. How tough would it be to add z4 support?
That would allow:

also the old gcc might be a better compiler to target this, as the gcc4 framekork has interesting issues. or the hudson C compiler..

what machine do you have, and what transfer methods do yuo have?

basically just copy it over. this wont run the v5 graphical stuff, just v3.

EXCELLENT!

What do I have to do to get the entire Infocom library on my X68K?

Thank you for your hard work!!
