     The same thing happens when I try the 5.25" version on our IIgs. Zork Zero
on 5.25" diskettes does seem to insist upon using two drives.

     You could check with Steve Buggie (505-863-2390; buggie@unm.edu) and order
one of his 5.25" "Buggie Drives" for your GS. Getting a 3.5" IIgs drive would
be a major improvement, too. (Zork Zero is available for download in a 3.5"
version.)
