Yep - Oberheim DMX. Low Life was DMX with a conga voice board too. Blue Monday 88 is DMX as well. Syncussion, RX-5 and R8 and Drumulator was used a lot by them too (along with real ones). I recall the Drumulator was on Technique with some 727. Not sure they ever used the 909 (or 808) - even in the 90s, except on remixes. Both the 808 and 909 are all over Shep Pettibone remixes of theirs though.
