I came into ownership of a Victor 9000 system and I'm still in the process of cleaning it up. It had what looks to be a copy of Kermit and another random floppy in the drive and I have not yet actually done testing yet to verify if these disks are any good.
Victor 9000/Sirius 1 systems are special in that they do variable speed GCR encoding on the floppy drives which as of date nobody* has been able to replicate with a disk emulator or imaging tool. You need a working system to read and write disks. I'm asking if anyone would be willing to use their system to write me one or more bootable system disks so that when it comes time to boot the system I have a known good system floppy and possibly a way to transfer files onto the machine through the serial port.
Can mail you disks to write the floppies out if you wish.
