Hello,

Have you got anywhere with this?

My understanding is that this could be either MSDOS or CP/M boot, are you looking for one or both of these. Prob you could find suitable images, and I could put the image to a real disk that you could use. If talking of a disk or two, minimal cost (postage ?).

Are 5.25" drives 40 or 80 track? If there are images, prob these will clarify?

I'm not familiar with this model. Is it supposed to be IBM PC compatible? If it is, it might run normal IBM PC/MS DOS. If not, it might be similar to the Victor 9000, that uses a really oddball variable bitrate format, that basically requires another another Victor 9000 to duplicate.
 
Yes, info I've found suggests that this machine uses the same format as the 9000, i.e. a vauiable speed, and variable number of sectors, for each track. I guess my normal drives will not work.

I understand that a Katweasel drive can read, and extract data, but not sure if that can write as well.

There was a previous thread back in 2013/4, someone there said they had a working machine and boot disks, but the thread did not conclude, left hanging.

If someone HAS a working machine, and disks, then I assume they can make copies. Try contacting someone in that thread directly??
