Hi Chuck, I have a working Victor 9000 dual floppy configuration and a dingle floppy/hard disk configuration but I'm in Canada. I've tried to image disks with a Kryoflux but have not figured out how to image disks to the point of being able to re-create them. The only way I have been able to reproduce diskettes is to make copies on the Victor 9000 itself and that is on the dual diskette version only, if I recall correctly. If there is any way I can help, I'd be happy to try.
