Thanks.. I grabbed "ZorkZero_with_maps.zip" from apple2.org.za
and was getting the same results.. but after selecting "J"oystick
as the input mode, it worked.. then I went back and selected "N"either
as the input mode (for keyboard, I assume), then it worked... but
before that, it DID recognize the disk, but came back with something
like "Dungeon Error 80" or something.. 

But it's working now!

Thanks,
