The A8 target would have been 48K so they could be run on the 400/800 machines. One main Z3 to Z4/5 difference was the total z-file size rising from 128K to 256K and so with would have meant moving to more than one double-sided disk. I would imagine that the declining market size and historical A8 sales meant that making updated interpreters for it just wasn't worth it.

seastalker Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I have the various 'Masterpiece' collections from the 90s on CD-Rom and always thought the 'Z[numeral]' formula just indicated revision number for bugfixes, improvements and such. Learned something new. For those of us with U1mb upgrades, I wonder how tricky it would be to add more Infocom to the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
