With a great effort, the rug is moved to one side of the room, revealing the dusty cover of a closed trap door. The door reluctantly opens to reveal a rickety staircase descending into darkness.

I was hoping to demonstrate this last weekend at RetroFest 2026. A true 8-bit Pocket Computer running CP/M on an 8Mhz Z80. On board storage, USB-C or battery powered, internal module bay and full RC2014 expansion bus. It runs Microsoft BASIC and Zork. So it's called the Zorkulator. Please share.
A Pocket Computer on a desk. It is the footprint of the first Pocket Computer - the Sharp PC-1211 (or Radio Shack PC-1)
