[bug lunch] I am thinking about purchasing a used Victor 9000 micro. I really like the graphics resolution (800 x 400). I am just wondering if that is enough of a reason. Questions: (1) is there still software available for this beast? (2) are there any big problems with this micro that I should be aware of? (3) I know the floppies variable-speed to increase storage capacity. What is the chance of replacing them with regular drives? (4) does Victor still support/document this micro? Advance thanks. - bcase

[] If your interest is purely graphics, you might take a look at the Tecmar Graphics Master board for the IBM. It offers 700x700 resolution which isn't too shabby. -- James E. Conley Phonetics Research Laboritory Indiana University at Bloomington ...iuvax!jec

Victor made a great machine. The I/O was good. The display was great, etc. Potential and current Victor owners might wish to dial up Mike Connick's BBS in Reston, VA. It runs on a Victor 9000 and there is often a fair amount of discussion about the Victor. The BBS number is 703-479-9459. It is quite popular so be prepared to dial often. rlgvax!geller

Victor doesn't support anything. They went bust last year.
