I currently have my Easy Telopper II cartridge on loan, but will soon receive it back.
I will definitely try the cartridge and "Ramdrive" on my Sony HB-F900.

Please let us know how it goes. I have the cartridge but it seems to be useless without the software.

Any way to get a dump of these disks?

Thanks!

One of these carts WITH disks is up for auction. It even includes the original disks of the HB-F900.

Tempting. Would be nice if the disks still work, for me a bit expensive for what it is.(will probably get to EUR 200, with all shipping/import/fees included).

Damn high price for those disks. We can only hope that the buyer is sensible and dumps the disk contents.

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. I got it! Once it arrives I will make sure I dump the disks and once I do that, I will make DSK images of all disks. I will then test all on the real F900. If all works, I will make a copy of the disks with the proper labels and sell my other Easy Telopper II with a full set of disks (copies) to recoup some of the money I paid for this one.

That would be me
I am all for preservation and to this day I am trying to find the disk that came with the 701FD that also has an imposer/digitizer (MSX1 machine, built-in imposer/digitizer, no external unit like the F900). Was never able to find a good soul that could get us all a copy of the Sony ART disk. Shameful for sure.
This one, I will make sure the disks are copied/dumped to DSKs and if it is all working, I will make sets with the proper labels (I make labels for my Minidiscs, using Inkjet friendly 'vinyl' stickers - they look amazing and are much better than paper, extremely durable) and send these to other owners in case they need them.
I will sell my other Easy Telopper II cartridge (with copies of the disks as well) to recoup some of the money I paid for this set.

Cheers.

Well done. Thanks for buying them and planning to preserve them. Please also send me a copy so I can add them to the file-hunter archive
