Yes, this is true -- I've played Secret of the Silver Blades
on the ibm.  It's an excellent adventure, very well thought-out
plot...  I got about halfway through it 'til they took my 386
away from me at work and gave me a Mac!  My friend Jose has finished
it, though, so once it comes out on the Mac I'd be more than happy
to "help you along!"

Just to give you a taste of it, you are in the city of Verendigras (?).
Your exploits in Phlan are well-known; you've got a maze of the old
city crawling with monsters, a defunct-network of teleporters (as you
finish progressive steps, you reactivate certain "doors"); a fountain
which will provide wisdom in exchange for gems (though it's guarded.... :-);
a ten-level mine/dungeon/ PLUS the castle itself....  Quite a set.

You can bring in your old characters fro CoftheAB or make new, 9th-10th
level characters.  Also, you can have Paladins, Rangers, etc....
