Fairlight-CMI

Hi all.

I have been very busy here in Sydney doing a real job, so apologies 
for not keeping in touch. I have been meaning to get in contact with 
the group, as I still follow events daily. 

I have been in communication with Greg Holmes about the possibility 
of getting my site up again, and provide any help to the Fairlight 
community I can. 

Regarding specifically the 32 Mbyte RAM cards, I did actually long 
ago mail one of the user group members (can't remember whom), saying 
we would need a "critical mass" of 10 firm orders before we could go 
ahead and manufacture. However, I don't think this information ever 
got posted, so here we go again. I proposed that if enough folk were 
keen, they should lodge a deposit (not with myself, but some trusted 
third party), and I would start the ball rolling again. 
Unfortunately, the original PCB manufacturerer went bust, so there 
would still be the set up costs of a new run, but we do have the CAD 
board designs to use. I would also have to see if the RAM arrays are 
still available, but I'm sure there must be some around (I can still 
pick up 4Gbyte hard drives OK!). The price should be about the same: 
ie GBP 660.

Let me know if anyone's interested.
