Re: Reading 9100 floppies...

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.
