Hi Bill,
I recently got a 9090, according to the source with a substituted disk
(225 I think - I didn't have a look into it so far, waiting for the holidays...)
There are any special changes necessary to substitute the tandon?
I assumed they are both "ST506" type disks and should be directly
substitutable - but I may be wrong, after all even the Shugart (PC-) bus
floppies used by Commodore are not according to the standard...
