They use the same CPU as the TI/990 there should be some disks at infoage from the TI/990 rescue I did from Wayne Verderber 8 years ago.
So are you saying that since it is the same CPU, then it should be able to use the same disks?
A simple Google search shows that these ran something called DX10 and DNOS. You need those disks. I seriously doubt anything else would work without knowing how to gen an OS for the 9900 processor, disk controller, etc. VCF Italia is looking for DNOS disks.
Look in the CVFed software libraries for 8" disks that say DX10 or DNOS on them. Fire up the DS990 that Kelly rescued and copy the disk and mail to Italy. I'd do it but my DS100 got torched during the unicorn milking machine fire of 2009.
Thanks Bill! I will take a look. You will have to tell me the story about the unicorn milking machine fire of 2009 someday!
