Hi guys, I've been investigating Victor 9k files quite a bit over the past 2 weeks. I have identified that in mame, FluxEngine, and Samdisk there all appears to be...

I conducted a few more tests. I am able to write a Victor disk with the TEAC 55 drive using the AppleSauce. What's interesting is if I write a disk...
