I didn't get any OS disks with the Victor,

I know it runs MSDOS
I'm not sure how the disks are formatted. I tried
with a random diskette
labelled "MSDOS" and didn't get any joy - but the
machine appeared to
power up and gave me an adorable little graphic of a
floppy disk that
blinked, presumably indicating no OS diskette - a
good sign it's in some
kind of working shape :)
Does anyone out there have a Victor/Sirius with OS
diskettes they might be
able to clone for me?
Muchas gracias!
NO. Absolutely not. I've had Vics and even a Vicky
for over ~1.5 years now, but haven't booted a one yet.
There are those that can help you on here (not me!).
We're working on swapping rom images at the moment
(unless I'm too far out of the loop).
Be advised the Vic formats a DD disk to about
1.2megs, so it is a highly proprietary format. And
even the DOS is customized for it's hardware. Good
luck pal!! Heh heh.
