Hello. I just acquired a Victor 9000 for my collection of obsolete computer
systems (:-) and I'm wondering if anybody can tell me what I can do with it
(besides the usual boat anchor). It's quite a strange beast for something
that runs MS-DOS (I got a version 1.25 with it). It uses its own disk for-
mat, it has a compleatly different keyboard and, according to CHKDSK, there
is something like 96K of RAM! Can I add more RAM? can I put in normal disk
drives? can I use a normal keyboard? can I use a modern DOS version? can I
install a hard disk? Is there a user group or other organisation that might
still support this system? Any information really appreciated. Please mail.
Thanks.
