Many years ago. I owned an Adler with two 8"drives, can't remember the model no., running CP/M. I spent many hours late at night playing adventure. The only sound was the humming of the huge cooling fan and the Drives while i waited for a response. Unfortunately the floppies kept wearing out and no one i knew of could fix it. It was replaced by an Apple ii which had graphics! Kicking myself know off course! I can play adventure on my pocket pc but it's just not the same...
