[Techtoolslist] Reading 9100 floppies...

[Mike Haaland]

If they truly are OS-9 formatted disks, you may be able to use MESS. Another
option might be a German program called OS9MAX if they are still around.

Ive used Omniflop / Omnidisk quite a lot in the past as I've done quite a
bit with the BBC Micro. I did look at Omniflop for the 9100. I thought
though that the disks were OS9? Or maybe that was the hard drives?

I found a program called OmniFlop that works on most PC platforms including
XP and it supports something like 250 odd floppy formats.

one being Acorn ADFS L, the other being Gravograph. My original 9100 archive
setup is packed away, and I can't recall the name of the floppy reader
software...
