Fairlight-CMI

Peter - I dont know about 1979 (too young), however FYI I have 
uploaded a scanned image of an advert which appeared in a well known 
UK Music tech magazine from 1986 (it is on the files page and is 
called SIIIad.jpg).

In this it can be seen that Series III's were being offered from £25k 
to an eye-watering £112k!!.

There are some interesting notes in the text; notably for £25k you 
did not get the music keyboard and that Fairlight clearly intended 
that you would be able to daisy-chain Series III's together to 
increase polyphony and RAM capacity. To my knowledge however this 
never came to market.

Anybody care to comment?

Regards,
Chris H.
