FYI, it's really no great shakes to install the parallel port on the CBM
1541 drive, and likewise, to modify the XM-1541 cable to work with it.
Parts wise, all you need is a PC gameport header with the DB 15-pin port /
ribbon cable, and the cable from an old / disused / dos era PC game
controller.

"OK, so the presence of that parallel port has nothing to do with imaging
copy-protected disks, as I thought?
Now that I think about it, maybe some particular nibbling software (mnib or
the like) just requires the parallel port, probably for speed reasons or

Ethan,
You should know better. Zork originated on a PDP-10 running ITS. I first
encountered it on a TOPS-20 system, since the folks at the Dynamic Modeling
