I found a few topics around alternatives for the Festool paper for the 125 and 150 sanders, but would like to find some options for the 90 as I've been using that a lot lately for refinishing work.

Could anyone recommend some 3.5" round paper?

Someone on Facebook posted that they're cutting three 90mm discs out of 8" sheets of 3M Cubitron.  [blink]
 
Wouldn't that be too small for the RO90 with a quarter inch around?

It depends upon what you're doing. I think outside diameter is less of an issue than having a disc that doesn't have any dust extraction holes...that'd be a mess. I've already used 5" discs on a 6" ETS EC sander because I was too lazy to change back to the 5" pad.
 
guybo beat me too it. Klingspor has those discs. I have been using them for years, everything from 40 to 500 grit.
The more exotic stuff is a no-go. They don't do any of the mesh or foam type abrasives in that size.
