Most everything is at ftp.whtech.com.
http://www.planet-99.net/ is a good site, as is http://www.tigameshelf.net/
As for the specs, perhaps they are on ftp.whtech.com somewhere - there are
different formats, V9T9 and PC99 are standard.
Both are basically sector dumps of disks, although PC99 is actually track
dumps and contains inter-sector stuff as well.
File formats are another thing.

I'd be willing to work with you or anyone regarding this as my time
permits...

Thanks for the pointers, will look (again, when time permits!)
