I hack things - electronics, vintage computers, C and assembler and languages for implementing Interactive Fiction. I bring these things to Vintage Computer Festivals.

@zarfeblong At VCF East 8.0 (2012) I hacked the RT-11 z-machine to run on Dave McGuire's PDP-11/70 and ran a cable over to my exhibit on Interactive Fiction.

@zarfeblong I've also compiled the PDP-11 code and run it on RT-11.

It does take a 1-2 line mod to run on the RT-11 runtime for RSTS/E (very minor tweak to the memory allocator).

@zarfeblong I've worked with these sources in the past. I was able to track down some of the original toolchain and rebuild some of the items.

In particular, I got the one for BBC Micro working, one that never escaped in a shipped product.
