990

I may have it. The drives and cartridges need a lot of work before I even think about trying to spin them up. Unfortunately they haven't been stored in the best of conditions. I'm not set up to do that myself, yet, and the only man I know hereabouts with the know-how and tools to clean, refurbish, test and align old SMD drives and disk packs isn't ready to get into restoring old gear just yet. In the meantime, I'm looking at the boot ROM source from Kossow's site for ways to hack in from a PC or maybe the 990/1 I have. Need to find an FD800/1000 or other SA800 series floppy subsytem for the latter, though. And software. Or I might dump the boot ROM on it and write/port some, at least a monitor/assembler/linker/loader. I'm going to be doing some 99xx(x) assembly here anyway. By all means please keep us posted on the progress. I'd be interested in knowing what software you got with the 990's, too. Thanks, jbdigriz
