VT180/Robin diskette images

[legalize]

I know of the disk images on bitsavers and "Dave's Old Computers". Are there any other VT180 diskette images out there? I didn't do exhaustive googling, but preliminary results seem to refer to those archives only.

Can you run generic CP/M-80 software on it as well?

For the VT180 Floppy's SYDEX (22DISK) should be able to access the floppy's. You should also be able to use cpmtools,
or cpmtools built with libdsk, with the following definition(s) to access an image of the floppy in .RAW format. Typically
Dave Dunfield's Imagedisk would create a .IMD file, and his included utilities can produce the .RAW file. The other choice
is to use SYDEX (Teledisk) to create a .TD0 image of the floppy. Then process the .TD0 with the Dunfield utility TD02IMD
to create the .RAW Image.

I'm not aware of any other images specifically for the VT-180, but if any exist, I'm interested since I have one myself. I have the "Dave's" images for mine.

These all appear to be referring to the DECmate, which is not the same as the VT-180.

Still wondering this:
